Hey HJ,
Thanks for answering my questions!
You are a true warrior, planning for another CLL in Tibias. I wanted to understand what caused your ETT ?? How can it be avoided ?

I was born with ETT on my right tibia. I've known about it since childhood, though I didn't know it was eligible for a medically necessary surgery until I met Dr Assayag.

That's great to hear that my blog and YouTube were helpful. You did a great interview with Cyborg4Life.

Why are you lengthening more? And why to treat the outward pointing feet if it has never given you any problem?
I stopped at 7 cm as well. Essentially, I was so tight that my doctor said I had to take a 2 week break to let soft tissues have a break. I said, you know what...7 cm is good for me, I am done. I am so happy I stopped right there. Continuing would have been insanity on my muscles and soft tissues, and also the proportion thing. My advice to LL'ers is just because it "goes" to 8 cm, doesn't mean you can or should. Thanks for your videos HJ, I see them on Cyborg4Life as well. Keep up the great work.

Watch my video at 3:25 which explains why I am not lengthening more.
About my outward pointing feet, you shouldn't be quick to judge someone else's conditions when you don't have any knowledge of their situation or the condition itself. External tibial torsion causes a lifelong list of problems. When an ETT patient tries to run or jump, it is a major hindrance that will limit you from many physically demanding jobs. I have trouble running one mile under 9 minutes because of this. This excludes me from many careers that have a physical fitness requirement like running, such as the military, law enforcement, athletics and related jobs. Not to mention it's a morale buster and damaging to your emotional health when you consistently finish in the bottom 20 percent of any kind of group running events.
After all, why are you on this forum? Being short is not a physical health hazard and it doesn't produce a physical medical problem. So does that mean you should not be allowed to get cosmetic leg lengthening surgery because it is not a physical health hazard?
