The reason to this, Meck, is because you want to rush the procedures. You should’ve known that this surgery is one that has one of the longest recovery time. You just did 10cm, and you didnt even let the recovery start for the femurs after achieving so much and you jumped into the next surgery. You couldn’t have expected that it was gonna be as simple as starting fresh, like it was with the femurs. I really believe the best option was to wait some months. You should never hurry this surgery or everything will come falling down. I don’t know what to suggest now, since you already went under the second surgery. I believe 3cm will be as far as you’ll be able to take your tibias at this moment. All the soft tissues are already stretched and under pressure from the femur lengthening. These soft tissue are also connected to the tibia, so it’s not like you can lengthen much more. If you would have waited, you would have been able to lengthen more than you’re currently capable of at the moment, and with less risks of complications. Best of luck! Hope you pull it through!
I go 7 even i cut my legs and trow away, im not get all this now because of 3 cm , sory mate im stronger than that

this isnt a simple cosmetic surgery. you're not getting your nose done. this is a major leg surgery, your mind might be strong but your legs arent as strong as your mind, you should have waited at least a year!
hope everything will turn out to be OK for you pal, but i have serious concerns about your doctor. when you already have exceeded the safe limits, he shouldnt have let you done this, didnt he inform you that you should at least wait a year to achive these numbers?
why the heck he lets you?

Dude there is a bunch of information and advice on here. I know I said I wouldn’t go past 6.5cm on femurs based on the “safe” evidence and 5.5cm tibia. Usually A healthy universal max is 12 cm on both parts with surgeries DONE within six months Or when one segment shows consolidation or so.
You did like almost 10cm on femurs and over 7 on tibia, way over the safe 2 segment limit of any medical study Or post ive seen or read.
I think you should get a SECOND opinion from ANOTHER doctor in that country/area and see what they can do for you. And I would do that as soon as you can.
My doctor say he never say strong man like me , and when i have operation, cameras came tv and record me , becuase he say i will be able strait after femur done 10 cm be able get tibia done at least 7 and when i reach 6-7 to contact him to stop and we check how i wallk is all fine to get more, is my choose to get 10 cm on femur and maybe im nothing different than others or i dont know but i know my brain will not let me stop on 3 4 cm on tibia, i will give my best to made finaly 17-18 and now only time will show , just please dont be same negative feeling right now i need support and possitive , many in hospital stop femur on 6 cm my doctor say for them dont go more is max for you and they stop so he know who can and who canot do more , i dont know why for me he say that i will do max score but if he trust in me i must myself , and also today is much better i stand up and and wallk into toilet 2 time in room so i need only shower from hospital and i feel much better, time will show now i hope i can reach more than 7 in tibia and wallk in same time without problems

I made Tibial surgery and I think that it can be more difficult than femur. It’s connected not just with knees and thighs, but also ankle, feet and fingers. It become hard to move and rotate and everytime I do less stretching or exercise than I should my feet get so stiff that I can’t move at all. I barely see some reaction on the fingers. Keep massaging and stretching your femur muscles, I am feeling stifness, so you that already did femur Lengthening will probably feel more. Taking care of this part will maximize your results on tibia. The best way is to keep the Lengthening safe and try to avoid the complications, walk and exercise as much as you can. Cold bags help a lot with the blood circulation, and the warm ones relax the muscle and makes more easy to move, switch between both, few minutes each, and finish with the warm on your ankle/feet area and knee. You will notice less stifness and after that is easier to walk or exercise/stretch. While seating, with the knees bended, doing rotation movements with my thumb or two fingers (index and middle) on my calves has also helped me a lot, I move my feet whilst touching and I can identify the muscles that are stiff. I believe that this is all that can help you right now. Now that everything is done concentrate on your body and talk about the misalignment on your tibia with your doctor, how and when he will fix that, I am having the same problem. Tomorrow I have appointment with a new doctor here in scandinavia, I want different professional opinions about this matter. I fear that after Lengthening will be late to fix and I can end up with permanent damage. I would like to add that you should at 6 cm, but it’s your choice anyway and I wish you the best.
thx mate for the info , is bad on tibia LON for me is bottom pins is in ankle and hard to move with foot and very bad feeling, i hope all will be fine
I decide to stay in hotel this time until lengthening done on tibia, becasue I don't have internal nail and this fixator move to much i have feeling will broke every moment. So better for me stay into hotel and finish lengthening and remove fixator and get nail inside, becasue when I stand up now my bones move to much inside and is danger go home like this, I will try lengthening litle faster 1.5mm sametime 2mm per day and i will give my best
I had a tibia LL before. I will suggest your tibia LL no more than 1 mm per day. I remember some doctor (Dr. Paley ?) said tibia LL is no more than 0.75 mm per day. Does your doctor allow to LL 1.5 mm or 2 mm? If your doctor allows you do this, we should avoid your doctor. He is not responsible for his patient.
1.5 to 2 mm per day? Bro do you really want to be in a wheelchair for life???
Your going to get serious nerve damage please listen to me man!
I really hope for the best but i feel like i should at least try and warn you. Ive been in your shoes and suffered serious consequences by “feeling strong” and thinking i could handle anything.
Jesus i hope and pray for the best, i just wish i had someone warning me about risks when i was going thru this.
