Will I gain the same amount of height that my X-ray shows?

Edit Post

Hey guys

I plan on doing tibia LON for 5cm.

I spoke to a guy that done LON for his femurs. He said his xrays showed he lengthened 8cm...but in reality when he measured himself he only gained 7cm of height.

Is this normal or was he an anomaly?  Should I automatically subtract 1cm of height from whatever my xrays will show?

This has concerned me a little bit...would love you hear from you guys!

Thanks

I understand...with that being said... would you say lengthening tibia's is better in terms of getting the same height that your xrays shows?
