I have a question. I've watched many videos about the recovery after limb lengthening surgery, and I noticed that many people can recover their running ability well, but almost no one can recover their jumping ability well. Can someone who has had this surgery tell me if you can jump as high as a normal person? 
I am not interested in basketball，but I hope that I can jump properly.
i haven't seen any good jumping videos. the two i've seen so far, the guys kicked up their legs to make it look like they were getting more air.
i also want to see a post-LL patient do a proper jump, swinging their arms and squatting before exploding off the
ground. if nobody can do that after this procedure that could be a dealbreaker for me.
So many people say that they have recovered 80%, 90% after this surgery, but I think if people can't even do normal jumps，they havent recovered 80%.
Why in the hell do you people give a damn about this stuff?
Muh jumping, muh squatting, muh can I do 500lbs on the leg press, muh sports.
The vast majority of you will probably have to run about twice a year in your normal lives, and most people don't play any sport at all after college. A lot don't even during college. Incel lifts in the gym to make you a power-manlet are a looksmin - stop squatting regardless of whether you do LL or not.
The benefits of height >>> how high can I jump. I can't even remember the last time I had to jump in the course of a normal day.
yes, its possible. you just have to train more. 95% of patients quit physio therapy 9-12 months after surgery, because they dont care about athletics.
that's actually pretty good, and he did almost 5 inches. he could work on explosiveness a little more, but you can tell his legs are still pretty skinny. i' sure he'll get faster when he puts on more muscle.
I can't recall the last time I had to run full-sprint or lift maximum weight, or even jump for that matter. At 39, when I did LL, I was past all those things being on the forefront of my mind. If I were 18, yeah...I may have given those some consideration. But at my age, and experiencing heightism for as long as I could remember...gaining a few inches was more important than the aforementioned actions. Your post was pretty funny, there are a lot of guys who are overthinking these things. Anyone who is on the fence, just get it done, you'll be glad you did, and you probably won't care if you do a moderate jog versus a full sprint ever at all.

I can't jump as high as I could before surgery (or at least it doesn't feel as explosive) but it hasn't been a big deal. I'm in my 30s but I'm still pretty active in sports.
