Externals vs. Internals - Pros & Cons of Limb Lengthening Surgery Devices

[@igalbibi8781]

Hey victor you forgot to mention few thing: Internal vs external: 1. Possible nerve damage could be added together with muscle problems as you said. 2.much more painful as externals irritate the skin,flesh constantly. 3.scars are more and they are visible. 4. The consolidation phase takes longer in externals in general.

Im sure they will. As a natty your testosterone levels can be affected from lack of sleep, stress and so on.

[@Cyborg4Life]

Yeah I agree, trt would most likely help fracture healing. And stem cells is known to boost healing and some surgeons actually use it especially for tibial healing since it's a bit slower than femurs. Thanks appreciate it

[@Cyborg4Life]

@Abhay Patel Yeah I'm not super well versed in all the substances and bone healing but I know that testosterone does help with bone healing and TRT being a test-replacement therapy it would most likely help with that. But I don't recommend this by any means. Vitamin D3, calcium, sleep, water, protein, and weight bearing will help more

@Cyborg 4 Life How long before this procedure would you recommend to stop smoking? And also, can you lengthen both the Tibia and the Femur at the same time?

[@Cyborg4Life]

I bet most surgeons would prefer you stop at least 3-6 months prior to surgery preferably longer. I don't think doctors like doing simultaneous lengthening on same day but at least a month between again like he said, 1 year in between is most ideal for safety reasons

Victor I have a question. For your shin lengthening, when the nail went through your knee, doesn't it damage or create a hole in the cartilage that's there? I would imagine that would make you susceptible to knee arthritis and knee replacement as you age. What are your thoughts on that?

[@Cyborg4Life]

Phenomenal question. So I can't say for sure as I am an avid heavy lifter and I think my lifting takes more of a stress on my knees than LL did not to mention my discrepancy for years. But I suppose, yes LL, "could" technically lead to knee problems via internal nail but it's not likely if you aren't pushing your body beyond it's limits. I plan to gather more data as time goes on and have a more concrete and credible answer to give you. My knees aren't perfect but like I said - lifting and LLD from past did damage. First 8 years after LL I had no problems I am starting to get inflammation sometimes but lifting is hard on joints

[@maxim1-h4e]

@@Cyborg4Life I ask this as someone who has looked after a parent with knee cartilage degradation. It really does get bad, eventually. The best way to check is to go to a physician and have an Xray done and see how close you are to bone on bone i.e. no cartilage left, which is when you'd need a knee replacement. It would be interesting to see how yours would look like, as someone whose had LL done on his shin by nail insertion via the knee. My guess is, there would be damage in a specific place. Do you know if there is a doctor out there who would allow us to lengthen our shins via the external device? I.e if we opted against doing the nail via the knee. I'd be grateful if you could let me know. Thanks!

once your bone is broken, it will never be as strong as it once was and another break will most likely occur on where they did your incision. i would be more careful about kicking, but just be wary of how hard you do it

[@Cyborg4Life]

Assuming you are healthy and have good nutrition your bone should heal as it was pre-op. However, it will take time to weight bear enough to regain the same density but within a few years your bone should be as good as new. Rushing back to sport is risky as it can damage things if too soon

Phenomenal question!!! This was my biggest worry with the surgery THE ONLY WORRY ACTUALLY. I had several broken legs before LL and didn't care about broken leg part it was the tendon. Yes it can make it a harder recovery but can still happen especially with tendon tissue conditioning as in ASTYM or Graston Technique.

[@Cyborg4Life]

For lengthening I had the original Precice nail. Honestly it depends. Yes for tibial nailing the internal nail has the chance to mess with the knee at the patellar tendon whereas the circular fixator like illizarov or TSF without nailing would avoid this yet the scarring could be more significant. But then the size of it would make PT harder vs the size efficient internal nail like stryde.

Did you your weight increased due to having longer bones?

Your weight will be increased because of it. It’s not bad. The taller you are, The heavier you are...

I'm 20 years old. Now my height is 5.4 inches. It's much shorter as a man. So I have take decision to take surgery. I want to increase 3 inches. Is it possible?

[@Cyborg4Life]

It might be possible not sure

[@demgainz1173]

Hey Vic, quick question. Could you do an internal in the femur + an internal in the tubular to grow a total of 6 inches?

[@Cyborg4Life]

It might be a possibility but surgeon has to check your bone growth and safety of soft tissues

[@davidcollard6103]

Hey man I have a question. I am 5ft 5 I am 19 I want to be 6ft when I get to that height what will happen to my body and chest will the still loook the same will I not be able to increase muscle mass . Will be stuck with a short body and long legs cause at 6ft your known to have a long body with a lot of muscle mass for example captain America (Chris evens)

[@Cyborg4Life]

Proportions could be skewed but it's not like you say. The longer your legs you will still be able to build muscle mass and fill them out to look somewhat normal

[@Wyattprice7]

You won't reach 6 feet SAFELY. Near impossible. Also many tall people have short torso. If basing how you look on Chris evans torso then ofc you'll never look like that. You have to base yourself on someone with long legs and short torso

Makes no sence to stay "naturall" in terms of androgenicity and chemistry when you are so enhanced mechanically and physically. Some would even call it doping. What if a runner changed the proportions of his leg depending on if its distance or sprint? Or a javelin thrower her arm proportions?

[@Cyborg4Life]

You mean me in bodybuilding? I don't have any enhancements or are you relating to my LL surgery to fix my discrepancy which fixed my handicap? Anyway LL is definitely not an enhancement by any means trust me

[@jackjamesboyo]

No, you can only get maximum 5 inches safely. But going from 4’10 to 5’3 would still make a massive difference to you, you would definitely notice it.

[@happymolecule8894]

You have these options 1 - Amputate both of your legs below the knee, and install prosthetics. You will look weird since your arms are very short at 4'10, but the recovery is near-instant and you'll be whatever height you want. 2 - Do the surgery then wear 6 inch lifts. You won't reach 6'2 but you'll be normal height

There is a critical information not being mentioned. Precice 2 internal nails are not weight bearing. In other words, you'll need a wheelchair to get around for months to avoid injury. Only the cheaper LON surgery with external fixators allows you to be mobile quicker.
