I dont think that way, but if he does I apologize. Anyway, reading his posts he just answered that question

Quote from: Iwanttobetalleresp on April 21, 2021, 09:39:54 AMThanks a lot for Your time and the info bud. You did precice? And i have a question maybe a little rare: why are you here? I mean, why did you came back to this kind of forum if you already done it and you are fine? As I read and is pretty normal, the one who does this and everything goes fine, he forget about that and let this things behind. Is it just to help, you are willing to do another one...?

Thanks a lot again


I don't want to speak for 6cmfemurs, but based on what I read and remember, 6cmfemurs came back to inquire about lengthening his already implanted precice nail 2 more centimeters or something like that.

I'm curious for your replies 6cmfemur. Because actually, I have had the intention to go to 6cm max to compromise the risk of lasting issues and reduced mobility at older age.
Also, I believe the risk for Stryde nail bending warrants being extra careful on putting pressure until the bone has consolidated. So preferably, only controlled movements such as walking and cycling.

Now I see your reply you wish you lengthened more, and I see the same from other users. But you never know how you would have felt afterwards if you had done that. And I'm not taking about the extra inconveniences during the lengthening phase, but the permanent effects that last throughout your life.

He appears to have left the forum now What would you say to one person who wants to do the LL surgery?

@DutchGiant: There are pros and cons to everything. Having to stop around the 6 CM mark allowed me to have an amazing summer road trip full of partying, drinking, hiking, and exploring about 7 months post-op. Seriously one of the best summers of my entire life. I doubt I would have been able to do all that if I had to wait for 8 CM of consolidation on a non-WB nail. If you are going to do this I would play the long game though and go for what you truly want. To be honest, you won't know how you truly feel until they break your bones and you are going through it. Some want less than they originally planned for, most want more.

@Iwanttobetaller is not rude, he actually asked the smartest question.

Quote from: Want-3-inches on April 21, 2021, 07:44:32 AMHi 6CMFemurs,

you story is very confusing. Did you end up getting the full 8cm after rebreaking? Did you get the nails removed? Are you considering getting rotational deformity fixed?


hey could you answer my questions? I went through your posts and I'm a bit confused about these aspects.

Thanks!

@Want-Three-Inches

1) I tried to get the final two CM, but the nails failed.
2) Not yet, but soon
3) Yes I hope so

I wouldn't be too hard on yourself if the nails failed. There's probably nothing you could have done brother.
