Quote from: throwaway123456 on May 04, 2023, 03:24:26 AMI needed IT Band release twice on my right femur, IT Band release was performed during my initial Fitbone implantation , the first lengthening was "only" 5.5 cm before my Fitbone failed , then 3 years later (thanks COVID) I had a Precice 2.2 rod inserted (without ITB release) but after ~ 1.5 cm it was so tight it was like a guitar string and I could barely move my knee or take a medium size step (on crutches ofc), the ITB was released again, and I completed the total 2.4cm without great issue, but I must say my knee TFL is still quite achy and stiff , it takes ~ 30 body squats to get mobile in the mornings.
Hey, i hope you're doing well now.
Can you remember what sort of ITB release it was and who did it? Was it a proper Z cut etc?
What would you reply to those people who tried to tell you, oh , well maybe you didn't stretch enough.
You can not stretch ITB bands - the scientific truth
Agree 100%
When you say release, how can we define it, with some doctors offering a 'soft' release also.
it band "unstretchable" because only 15% of its length is muscle
ITB band proper release are critical.
Tell it to Betz, who some people here considered as a very great doctor, who let his patients lengthen more than 10cm without doing itb release.

Sure walk with 45 degree legs for 6 months after you consolidate lol. The release is to make the patient experience more practical, there's no health concern with not releasing it.
They offer ITB release and imo.are one of the safest out therr
My surgeon is a professor and was trained by one of the top CLL surgeons in Baltimore so I assume he knew what he was doing, He was typically cryptic/elusive when i asked about the release (I had asked him to perform it during the CLL but he didn't consider it necessary), he often became defensive when I asked such questions, i think he was used to adoration from the Sheeple not pointed questions.
I recall the final ITB release was tough, I spent 3-4 long days in hospital with puss/fluid draining from a tube in my knee before they removed the drain and let me go.
I stretched during CLL, it was very painfull tbh, before CLL I had a +20cm sit and reach beyond my feet, now after only 8cm CLL I can barely reach the top of my feet, I stretch every morning, I am 56 yo so this may be a factor ofc.
