Impressive gains, Meck!
 How are your legs feeling?
 Are you ready for the tibias?
 Don’t you think that 8.5 on tibias is a lot to ask for in one round after just lengthening almost 10cm on femurs?
 Please keep us updated. Congrats on your achievements!

Really hope you reconsider the amount you want to lengthen right now. If you really want that amount than maybe you can do 4-5cm now and come back in a few years for another 4-5cm. Thats way safer than going all in on tibias. That would be similar to what Paley is offering in one of his options.

So what you will try to do, is basically start lengthening tibia once you get the femur frames off, correct?

Please keep a diary of the process, thanks in advance and good luck!

Yess right now i have fixators on femur and in 6 days i made tibia LON and remove fixators from femur, i will post  picture when done and keep diary update with tibia how is going, i actually start like the pain and i think i will made 8.5. When I made tatto pain to much legs and tatoo because I sit  for days into one possition until tatoo done but better do all now and enjoy after than made half tibia than again half in few years or month's, that is my opinion

Thank you man, good luck with all that!

By the way, what did your doctor said about doing Tibia right after finishing lengthening on the femur?

I can sit normal, not lose knee space movements and he say I'm ready for tibia because my knees is ok and I wallk normal

Well... If this is what you think is the best option for you then all I can say is good luck and I hope everything goes as you plan! Also, I’m very intrigued to see how this is gonna go. I’m sure that if you follow all your doctor’s instructions and stay on top of physio, then everything will go well.
Hope you have a great journey, and I’ll be following this diary very closely. So if you could keep uploading pictures that would be great!

I hope all will be fine because im not wait for tibia





Hey man, i would really reconsider doing tibias with those frames. The alignment on those femurs is way off. Have you got a standing xray of your full legs to check for alignment of hips, knees, and ankles? Its very important to keep near perfect alignment to prevent bow legs or x-legs.
I might be wrong but looking at just these xrays i suspect you will have bow legs. The problem will most likely get worse if you do tibias with these same fixators that have no way of correcting the angle of the bones.
