Hi. I've got my xray. 1 cm more to go. Noticed slight bendings in both nails. Seems like left leg a little bit more. Question to experienced guys. Did you hear about such cases ? What would you do? My doctor acts like it's still fine. I will use now only walker and avoid most of the stuff I did before.

I walked on crutches, maybe put too much force on legs in that case. I also used swimming pool 1.30m deep to walk unassisted but this shouldn't be problem.

Thanks for the info. I've heard stryde (his nail) had plenty of cases like that. Anyway now I don't use crutches only walker to physio and wheelchair at home. I will avoid as much as possible for one month. Anyway I hope femur will be well consolidated with such angle ... Doctor wasnt helpful to calm my worries.

Three months
I don't want to reveal details about doctor yet. Picture is made at a monitor from an angle. Knees are exactly on the same level. Both femurs lengthened the same and equal, no worries.
So in your opinion it's a lot of bend in left leg?
Guys did you have height discrepancy in the end of lengthening I mean you expected one but actually the height was less?
Pretty sure I was minimum 171.5 before. I am finishing on 7.45 cm. I measured myself as straight as I could and it's 178 ... I expected at least 179...
