Quote from: ReadRothbard on February 17, 2015, 07:15:56 PMHow much did you end up gaining, then?
I believe I got an actual gain of 6.5cm, but then again, with all this talk on femur angles, who knows?
That's way I recommend lengthening a little extra, just to be safe in the end.

Well I think I did. The X-rays add 1cm, so according to X-rays, I'm at like 7.5cm+. Dr G's click file has me at 6.61cm, but I know I had some clicks it's not including (hospital, accidental and extra clicks I threw in), so I think my net gain is close to 6.5cm. I saw a friend yesterday who used to be my same height/a tad taller, and I was looking down on him. I've achieved a noticeable gain even if I don't know the exact number. I'll do a handful more clicks but I really want to stop because I need to get back to my normal way of life.

what do you mean the XR add 1 cm? It is pretty disturbingin that case..... you mean X-rays which were read and analysed by Guichet to be 7.5??
XRR cannot be read to scale, and we need to compare with other landmarks (eg for ex fix we compare to parts of the frame).
Did you get a reading of your radiograph by Dr Guichet or an X-ray guy? Or was it just based on the scale on the XR?

No the X-rays were examined by another doctor and the radiologist using some computer program. But Dr G said for me to follow the click file, which was always 1CM less than what the radiologist claimed the X-rays said. Very confusing/frustrating, but obviously I go with Dr G.

This is so confusing. Why would the click file be more accurate than X-rays?? I mean, I would trust Dr G but what is the reason? Could you ask him? Just wondering, Im sure he has a good reason for it.... Im quite concerned now. Because my X-rays say 4cm when I last took them and I thought it was what I was gonna get 
Quote from: Taller on February 15, 2015, 04:01:26 PM5'8 isn't short in my eyes. It's only an inch from the average male height in the United StatesStatistics are based on the records and I'm sure nurses will round up the height (unless it's something to do with LL, disabilities, etc). I think 5'8" is probably the exact average height. I know the statistic in the UK is 5'10" and there is no way that is true.
Quote from: SAD on January 01, 2015, 08:22:07 PMAre you in London? Not Milan?
Where does Guichet stay?
I've been wondering this too, he mentioned London which has got me excited because I live in London but also confused because I thought it was all in Milan.
Do we have a choice in the location of the surgery? Spending 2+ months in Milan sounds fantastic (excruciating pain notwithstanding). The food is great, the weather is great, and it's the fashion capital of the world so once I'm taller I can buy lots of pants I wouldn't have been able to pull off before 
. It's also very close to Florence and Venice (though maybe going to Venice as a cripple doesn't sound like the best idea...).

I took a few years of Italian in high school. I'm horrible at speaking and writing Italian (lol) but I can read and understand it surprisingly well.
