Quote from: Racurz on December 21, 2017, 09:57:25 PMGenerally the safe limit is like 6 cm femurs and 8 cm tibula or the other way round not sure which is which but if you plan on doing sports perfessionally you won’t be at the level required after LL but casual sports that your doing with friends are going to be sweet.

For me personally I feel the same I want to get taller and stay in the safe limit of LL to be able to play sports again like soccer and basketball etc obviously non perfessional that’s why I’d be doing 5 cm on each segment that way I can get 10 cm taller.


Talk about it with doctors but I'm not sure you will still be able to dunk with 10 cm, really. Doesn't mind, basketball is absolute  . But I'm not sure, talk about it with doctor. Maybe after some years you will be able.

I only do basketball every once in awhile I was only really using it as an example my main sport is soccer being a goalie so I need height for that as on average most gk’s are 6ft+

You'll be a worse goalie at 6 ft after CLL than as your current height without lengthening at all. You won't have necessary stamina or explosiveness post-op.

I forgot to mention that I’m not playing perfessionally I’m doing it because I feel I need it like many I just wanna be taller but I’m sure if you worked hard and almost everyday you could recover pretty well if you stayed within the safe limits
