What do you think about using Steroids while doing limb lengthening?

I think it is great because:

- you will loose no or only a very small amount of muscles. Especially for athletes it is important not to loose their hard earned muscles.
- I think steroids could help bone formation a bit.

Especially Nandrolone:
Quote: "From the above facts, we can conclude that anabolic steroids produce a better fracture healing by exaggerating the periosteal bone formation and by achieving a high osteoblastic activity and a better mineralization of the callus. They also seem to exert mild inhibition of the bone resorption without affecting or even stimulating the bone formation. Thus, anabolic steroids will definitely improve the fracture healing outcome and reduce the morbidity and the negative socio-economic impact. This was an initial study which was done to test the effect of Nandrolone decanoate on fracture healing, which showed positive results. We intend to do future evaluation with multiple doses and for a longer duration of time"

HGH would be also useful. I am not sure if HGH would be more effective for the purpose of bone formation.
