Hello every one

my age 33, and my original height is 161 cm and average hight here in my country is 168 cm .

I scheduled my femur lengthening using the internal method of a precise nail on April 28, 2021, my goal was to hit 8 CM. However, the last X-RAY showed poor bone healing, and my Doctor recommended that I stop lengthening at 4 cm or 4.5 ( depends on x- ray scheduled end of this week) .

My worries are why should I stop at 4.CM if I can reach 6 CM or at least 5.cm to get the minimum advantage of the Leg lengthening procedure.
The Surgery day On April 28 On May 4th, 2021 Start lengthening a 1mm per day On June 3th 2021 Doctor request me to slow lengthening rage to .5 mm per day On June 20 2021 I reach 4 cm.

Anyone had similar experience and how to overcome this issue and gain max possible hight safely ?

MY x ray at 3.7

It may be your diet, are you taking magnesium and vitamin d and calcium and eating protein?
Are you sleeping good and not smoking?

What is wrong with you, listen to your doctor. Holy sh*t do LL patients have brain worms??? Do you want to ever walk again in your life? At this rate you will be in a wheel chair.

This is horrific. Are you weight bearing and eating right? Any calcium and protein? The only thing worse than this is 0 bone development.

Depending on the size of the precise nail used,you might actually be able to walk slowly,11mm precise nail can weight bear something like 44kgs,it might help your bone growth,while still using crutches of course,or a walker,because that's quite odd,if you sleep properly,you eat enough and take your supplements,you should be able to have a proper bone growth,do you have some sort of medical condition ?
Maybe you don't eat enough or suffer from malnutrition,52kgs is really low,even if you measure 1.60-65cm

I had poor bone healing around 4 CM, tested for low vitamin D levels. Went on a massive dose of Vit. D and started getting a lot of sun. I saw pretty immediate results on my next X-ray.

52 Kg is a good weight; I'm 57 at 178 cm. Walking isn't generally a risk you should take with Precise, but you should be able to stand at 52 Kg as long as you keep your weight evenly-distributed between both legs, so I'd ask the doctor why he recommends against even standing. Weight bearing stimulates bone growth. You're being set up to fail by not being allowed to stand.
