Risks/Complications Of LL

Edit Post

Does anyone know when fat embolism occurs? Can it happen all the way through the LL? Or only a few hours after the surgery?

Interesting answer, mm. I like this kind of answers more than your other posts. In my humble opinion you're usually too credulous and naive. Too young perhaps? You should be more critical.

What you said seemed like a backhanded compliment. You called MM naive lol. But I was only joking...I'll grab some popcorn and stay out of it

The opening post to this thread is great, as well as the list of any and all complication that may/will occur during treatment post surgery. It's definitely given me some perspective about LL. I had never honestly considered doing it while I'm still poor (maybe someday I'll be in the working class status if things at my job go well, lol). But honestly, I think if were to ever hit the lottery, I'd get the surgery, only get 5 cm on both bones (for a total of almost 4 inches) and attempt to make myself go from 5-2 (158 cm) to 5-6 (167). And if complications arose that prevented me from being athletic anymore, or worse yet, confined to a wheelchair, I think having my millions of $$$ would make up for it.

Sorry if my post is redundant to the topic but just thought I'd share my tfeelings on this with like-minded individuals

These are complications of all surgery.
I had once a surgery to cut lump on my arm bone and i must signed a statement that it is possibility that i can't move my hands after that.

Did anyone know someone who all paralyzed or have nerve damage after LL?

It is not so far fetched that general patients are apprehensive about reporting complication when still lengthening under the care of the surgeon. More so if surgeon regularly visits the forum.

I have personally seen few complications with some renowned European surgeons where patients have lost function. Generally compartment syndrome and foot drop is a very real possibility when doing internal tibias.

I could find information about complications from tibia lenghtening surgery on Wikipedia, which had references from Pubmed. I could not find the link but I remember something about 75% suffered from arthritis. Does anyone have information about long-term complications after INTERNAL FEMUR lenghtening? Any scientific data or studys to back up the infos which are presented in the forum.

That's a sh1tty humble opinion and you are 98% wrong. I have met the goddess herself in real life. Desperate is not the same as being naive or credulous.
