Thigh muscles connect between your butt, back, hips, knee, all over the place. 8cm would pull too much and too likely will cause some chronic pains. Now look at the additional height gain, if you stand next to a guy 2cm taller than you, it doesn't look much different. The taller you are/were, the less noticeable.

BS logic. There's no hard limit of 6cm and it's very individual some people can tolerate 8cm very well others can not. It's more like 20% of your original length than 6cm.

From talking to docs and reading diaries with reputable surgeons, it seems like everyone recovers almost 100% by doing max of 5-6cm on femurs. Its above that when recovery seems to get exponancially difficult

BS reply. Where in my answer did I say "hard limit". And do you understand what "IMO" stand for?

Certified this from my hands-on experience. It's been 6mo into consolidation and almost 4mo since I was allowed to walk unaided now. I've been enjoying so much of life. I took several domestic flights and have been walking long distances (e.g. 2-4h consistently around a shopping mall). And it will only get even better from here.

I also did 6cm femurs and doing fine (running, hiking etc.) but prob will rebreak and go for full 8cm.
