I know, if we pass 6 cm on tibia, there is higher possibility for ballerina syndrome.  But what do u think does it have permanent complications?

This will always give you permanent complications. You will feel stiff. It will ache as hell some day where the pin cut through your leg. You will never be as agile as you where before the surgery. Explosiveness is almost all gone.

But all that doesn’t matter to a couch potato. Hell, I don’t even think such a person even knew he had all that before the surgery.
If he’s happy being taller, why bother?

But!!! - these are the idiots that claim they recovered back to 100%.

WRONG!! Nobody gets back to 100%. Forget about it. You can manage well and do fine in sports, but your peak is always before the surgery.

Hi Sweden,I wanted to ask you if you had ever have muscular cramps during your LL
I mean those muscular contractures,very painful,that can last minutes
And if yes,how did you handle it

Can you still run on treadmill after the surgery to stay in shape.  What's  the  point of gaining height when you can't  stay lean and build muscle?

No I didn’t. I felt the muscles atrophy though and that hurt a little.

You can be a body builder after LL if you like. Sure you can run on the treadmill. In fact I really miss doing that.

You can do almost anything, just not in a competitive level.

I am only doing 5cm max. I just want to make sure that I will look like a normal 5'10 guy when I am done with the surgery. I'm not trying  to compete in anything professionally, but I just want to remain in good shape.

Is that not also the case with getting older, so your peak in most sports will be at 25 years and after that it will never be 100% again? Or with many accidents and traumas, such as motorcycle accidents, car accidents, falls with complicated injuries, that can all reduce your athletic ability and never let it be 100% again?

There is no point doing the surgery unless you can run
