Proof of Normal Walking after Procedure?

Edit Post

This is what I am scared of too.

Edit Post

I’m only 7.5 months post op and 4 months post ITB release and my gait is 95% normal. The only issue is when I sit down for a long period of time it takes a few steps for my gait to normalise but I expect that will improve with time and muscle strengthening.

Okay so most people can't walk as they normally did, and have some sort of reduction in athletic mobility

Now if I did this I was planning on getting tibia lengthening as well to even out the legs to somewhat resemble the ratio before, but those people don't really seem to exist

First of all, less than 1% of all LLers post anything about their procedure in forums or elsewhere, because of privacy or simply not caring about it. Just go by the numbers, how many CLL have been done a year vs how many diary entries you see here.

Most people can walk normally a few months after LL. Walking is not even a difficult feat to be honest. It's about the most intense tasks that need to be re-acquired after LL through effort, things such as running fast, jumping high, not having to warm up or stretch for some of these things, and anything with weights basically.

I walk 100% normal. I did 9cm femurs.


With that said, i do NOT recommend doing that much in one segment. If you do that much despite me telling you not to then you are a fool.

Running fast and jumping aren't intense tasks, those are basic athletic abilities

As someone who owns a business where I need to work physically a few hours sometimes I am concerned about being able to handle it

what do you define as intense tasks then? what's more intense than sprinting and jumping?

If those tasks are inhibited to ANY degree, that means something like kneeling up and down quickly or even maneuvering around someone on the street is impaired

I wouldnt say that I get tired soon, but it doesnt feels „normal“ as before yet.

Can you clarify what you mean by "it doesn't feel normal as before"? What feels different?

Will you be able to handle physically working over 9h at work?
