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

X-ray looks fine, and 6cm is a very reasonable goal. Be sure to take all your Calcium, Vitamin D and Vitamin K2 supplements. Slowing down to 0.5mm is pretty good advice. Honestly, I wouldn't worry so much about your bones, especially with retractable precise. I'd worry much more about wide legs / duck ass that starts becoming apparent around 3-4cm.

After I read your post and similar post here , they are very helpful and positive. I realized that I'm not eating well and not taking the much supplements as what should I do .
Vitamin K2 supplements I never take it , Plus V D and calcium I just started two weeks ago
I will be updating you guys regards of my case

1 month is a big amount of time but still with so poor bone healing I don't think it will cause you preconsolidation.
If the bone gap is much stronger than now after 1 month (as it should be) you could continue.lengthening but if the gap remains poor then you should stop.
I believe though that you'll have a much stronger bone bridge in a month and you could continue lengthening.
Keep strong.

Thank you man for such a helpful informations, this post - as some other posts here - opens up a hope for me, make me less stressful about my LL final result. I will wait and I will be updating in a month.
This is why plans like: "1mm/day for 2 months = 6 cm means I can have surgery in June and then go back to school in August 6 cm taller!" aren't good plans.
another doctor, I send him my x rays for another opinion he said
there is a malalignment for the left which should not be increased more than this if you lengthen more. which mean I should stop forever, I will try to take one more opinion to be sure about my case, coze my doctor he only told me this due to slow or poor bone healing and he never mention about the malalignment !!
