Dear Victor, I have to say what great content. You have such a positive attitude and energy. And in contrast to other people you engage (C)LL in such a non-sensationalized, scientific, "casual" but yet informative way. You truly bring a pragmatic view on this topic. Props to you sir!

I recently had a limb lengthening surgery back in the end of August but I suffered a setback in the beginning October & I needed to get the nail removed so the surgeon could place a new nail in my left femur & this is good information for me because I had the surgery done twice & I have a long road to recover but I know I can do it

Stretching is for muscles. Bone healing is for support. So both are required as well as stability and endurance

Hello Victor, tysm for coming ahead and talking specifically about limb lengthing matters. Further I wanted to say that to increase inches 3.5 inches helping many people but on other hand there are many people who wants to add atleast a foot to their height. Please put light on this. I really want some kind of research to be done in this area. After one year of study I too will try to focus on this area because I want an answer to my problem and I know it can be done. Please guide me through about the possibility to increase 12 inches that to with minimal invassive and less painful way. Thanks a lot

I can't find the answer for this anywhere. Does the bone heal as strong as it was before or does it have a weak point now? I'm interested because I'm into snowboarding and would never want to give it up, so I want to know if doing LL will affect that in the long-term?

Sure so the pain meds they prescribe typically range from potent (narcotics) to standard (Tylenol) and sometimes muscle relaxers etc. These surgeons deal with severe trauma cases so they're really good at helping patients manage their pain after LL.

Let's say I do precise 2 on my femur to gain 8 cm, I'm going to stay in Turkey for 3 months for the rehabilitation, does this mean I'm going back to my hometown with a walker to be able to walk? And it will take me 7-9 months in total to be able to walk again? Also can you please speak about the 2nd surgery for removal? When is the 2nd surgery required? After 1 year? (assuming I did precise 2)

Got my surgery done on tibia in april. Fixaters were removed in july. I still can't walk normal after 4 and half months. My bones consolidation is very slow and Achilles is so tight. You can't do much when bones are broken. I have swelling on both legs when i do stretching it gets worse and come back to some point where i started stretching. Also swelling makes legs bigger so because of stiffness you will feel joint pain. So think 50 times and ask patients 100 times before tibia surgery.

Probably not. When you take a step on one leg it will distribute more force on the leg than just 96lbs and could affect weight capacity of the nail
