What is the future of limb lengthening? What do you hope to see happen?

Edit Post

I am new to the world of limb lengthening, but it seems like the technology seen some really great improvements with things like the Stryde nail. What kind of advancements do you think will be in store in the future? What do you think needs to happen in the future or near future that we can improve upon either technology wise, process wise, culture wise, etc? Of course we would all like to take a pill and get taller, but realistically what do you think can happen?

The bone consolidation will be faster than ever, they are gonna use stem cells.

But, I don't think there is going to be huge improvements about muscles.

Not necessarily surgery related, but check out these (recent ones):

Now as for the surgery, I would imagine a better/stronger/thinner(?) nail, drugs that alleviate pain more efficiently, stem cells for faster healing and the like, and possibly some kind of growth hormone drug supplementation.

The nirvana would be: Re-Opening Growth Plates With Pills with minimal side effects.

But its gonna probably take a decade or more. Maybe 50 years. Maybe never.

Ik that there is a new nail currently having clinical trials right now. Its called the Synoste Nitinail and supposedly, it has full 100% weight bearing capacity from day one post op and the lengthening process can be controlled through ur phone. Only for femurs tho T T. But maybe stem cell treatment after lengthening can speed up the consolidation phase.

This must be it right: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03752814. Hopefully it will be successful.

Do you think that taking HGH at 21 years old could help in any way ? or Growth Hormone should be taken after the surgery only?

I'm actually 21 and no, unless your growth plates are open, which is extremely rare, HGH won't do anything, GH or Ipamorelin / CJC 1295 during the bone lengthening phase for faster healing might be the way to go. 

However, if it's possible to reopen a growth plate with C16H10N2O2 or something similar, you'd need a GH / (GH) mimicking drug after that to continue (I think).

Yes this is the trial. The trial ends in 2021. This will be a big game changer for LL. I heard the app for Nitinail will tell you when you are lengthening too much per day. Too bad its only for femur tho.

Edit Post

It's an Stryde with a cell phone app. That's not an improvement. Not really an evolution. Just slight more convenient.
And now ALL the big corporations in the world will know if you did LL, because they will link the app to your data.
