I can’t do it, but that’s bc I can’t dance.
A patient who don’t have X-legs or a broken foot should not have any trouble doing that.
Don’t pass 5cm on tibia and you’ll be fine. My 7cm was too much. I have issues every day. Small, but still.
Thanks for the feedback !
I won't do more than 5cm on tibia as my frame is already short torso / long leg, I don't want to look ridiculous.
Allright the inability to be able to dance was one of the few things that made me reluctant to do it.
I'll do video of me dancing now so people will have a before / after lol
Honestly long tibias look great. They look much better than long ass femurs.

True. But probably not 7cm longer than the tibias you already have.
People don’t notice. Or some might do, but doesn’t care. Not their problem.
I still have Xlegs which hurts. I can run, but haven’t done it for a year now. Takes 3 days to recover from a good run.
Stamina is terrible.
Otherwise things are good.
I want to build more muscles but right now I work too much. It’s easy getting lazy.....
I will try to get Dr Betz to examine my Xlegs this summer. I did it here in Sweden and they said all I needed was some physical therapy. Right now I’m putting lots of stress to my joints in the knees.
I’m not really focusing on this anymore. I have other priorities. But yes, the Xlegs bugs me every day still.
Why did you not just add 6.5-7cm on you’re femur and 5 on you’re tibia ?
Because of the money?
I’m the same heigth than you before surgery and I will do 6.5 on my femur and hope to be happy with my 180cm!
I know what you feel, if I was 176-177 It will only need to do 1 surgery to be « tall ».
It's hard to be so indecisive.
A person who measures 1m65 or less will be less hesitant about whether to do quadrilateral. But when you are at the limit of your dream (for me 1m83) and you know you will not reach it if you only do femur. It's hard to make the right decision.
My first goal was 6cm on tibias and later maybe 5cm on femurs.
Then when I lengthened I decided to go for 7cm, be 180 and be done with it.
I could go for 4-5cm on femurs now, to even out the proportions. (And to reach my dream height)

Today I tried sprinting to the absolute maximum until I almost died.
It actually went pretty good. I’m not the slowest one around.
My running is a bit stiff and my Xlegs push my knees inwards so it doesn’t look good at all when I run. I did a little video of it and I will make a better one this week to show you.
Knees ache a little bit now. All of it is on the inside where they “knock”.
I have started heavy weightlifting and doing constant foam roller exercises every day. Morning and nights.
Don’t know if it’ll do anything better but my running has turned to the better and that makes me happy. I love running. =)

Life is good. I’m still married to the same woman, we moved to a much bigger house downtown, I’m still doing martial art and we’re thinking of getting a dog. A Doberman. Then I would force myself to take longer walks too.
And yes, 4cm on my femurs would hit the sweet spot. But then I’m afraid I’ll have short arms and way too short torso.
My butt is not big or fat in any way so I don’t come higher up from that as a girl I talked to yesterday has. She is 172 tall and with a larger butt. When we sat down she almost towered me.
That was embarrassing. =D
Hey Sweden how have you been going are you still going to do your femurs?
Looks like you could do 5cm and still look fine I think you said your sitting height was 92cm?
Are you having any issues still with having done 7cm tibias other than xlegs like tight ankles and muscles?
Sweden is everything okay? I hope you are the same as before please update us
Hey Sweden, Hope you're doing well. I am also Swedish. When you came back to Sweden, Did you go to Vårdcentralen for Xrays to see how your bones consolidated. How did the doctors react to your X-rays and your surgery?
i think its good that we dont hear from him anymore. it most likely means he moved on with life and is now living the dream all of us have
