Quote from: wyrmhero on August 20, 2020, 10:26:20 PMIs it true that the lengthening process works better with a person who already has a large size (180cm+)? This is what I was able to read once while browsing this forum, I ask confirmation.
Yes. Extending less percentage of the original bone is safer. Ironically a 6'0 doing LL is safer than a 5'4 person doing LL.
Thank you for your answer ghkid2019 !
Depends on how flexible you are. There aren't any fixed limits.
I agree that having low risk outweighs the large length and proportions. But let's be honest with ourselves. The type of ppl that are willing to do this surgery are ppl who are quite a bit shorter than average.
Is a 5 foot 5 guy willing to go through all the pain and potential side effects for 4 cm?, and become 5 foot 6.5. LMFAO. It's sad truth but ppl need to hear it.

There are guys entire standard deviations lower than that doing quad lengthening (tib + femur) as we speak at Paley clinic.
My point is, I think a lot of the risks are now to the point of being MOSTLY manageable in the care of a top, top surgeon.
If you go to the third world for surgery, you can't expect much. Can you?
Quote from: Sweden on August 01, 2018, 10:30:21 PMI can update my pain level as well. I almost feel no pain at all in my knees anymore and I run, jump, do martial arts and all there is to it today and I feel barely anything.
I got used to the pain so nowadays I’m surprised I don’t feel it anymore.
There is still a little bit of stiffness in the mornings but it’s nothing really. I mean, who isn’t stiff in the morning? 
I was just out for a long run and there is no sensitivity or any pain in the knees.
I’ve been actively trying to fix my Xlegs with many exercises and have special made insoles I use when I walk.
Maybe it has helped, don’t know - but life without pain is better!!
And no, I won’t remove my rods in my legs. I will die with them in there.
Any update since then? And how can you fix xlegs without corrective surgery? I didn't think that was possible with just stretching.

Can you give more details on what you mean by "athletic ability"? That is a bit vague.

i didnt say do 4cm lol.. but as you can read above ... someone literally saying "some people did over the amount and had decent recovery". <--- that sounds terrible. and thats not height neurosis anymore if you can say youre willing to butcher yourself when you can still get almost 3in safe on femurs and 2 in on tibia relatively safe.
but the point i was making is - most people commenting like that have no money saved, no real research, just joined recent, just spitting out the longest numbers they THINK they can do, and tell people on their mock ups they look great lol. so it makes it hard to gain info and go over resources in a good way.
8 cm tibias ftw
