Hey,

It's my pleasure bro. I believe in you! You'll get through this.
Have you seen people in the hospital who were treated with Stryde? I know Buldu also offers stryde but I haven't seen anyone from him posting their experiences about Stryde here.

Best Regards

Yes, that is indeed true. Ironically it's safer for a 6'0 person to get LL than a 5'0 person to get LL, since we want to reduce the % increase from the original bone length. A 5'0 guy gaining 3 inches stretches more (percentage wise) of his bone than a 6'0 guy gaining 3 inches. The taller you originally were, the safer this is and the more length you can do.

Hey man,

I'm sorry but i don't believe i have met any Stryde patients. All i know is Halil does a ton of them but his patients do not know of the forum, they are mostly turkish.

Hi there are some points and factors about femur LON
1- knee flexion : Take it seriously if you can't bend your legs in full ROM , This is a RED FLAG
2- 5 cm is the safest
3-You will never get 100% lengthening , I mean if you did 3 cm distraction You will get 2.6 cm ( most probably) .

Thanks for your reply,

My knee flexion is 100 degrees and improving every day so i do not worry about it at all. And yeah, i guess 2-5 cm is the safest but i would never undergo this surgery for such a measly increase. My question was how big the difference between 8 and 7/6.5cm. I will try to take into account for the height loss

How many weeks in are you?

I’m 3.5 weeks post op and I’m about 160 degrees on left leg but only 145 degrees on right leg in terms of flexion

Who measured You knee bending?

normal knee bending is 135 to 140°

I'm around 4 weeks post op

Full flexion is defined as 130-140° so if you have 160 and 145 (?) you are definitely fine.

I know normal flexion is 130-140° and i am every day getting closer to that. It's highly rare to regain full knee flexion immediately after LON Femur. It is highly dependent on your physical therapy during lengthening which is getting better every day in my case. I measured the degrees myself through pictures
