Title: Tibia mock-up
Post by: Jack1066 on August 17, 2017, 10:16:16 AM

So far I've only looked at the possibility of femoral lengthening. However most of my femur mock ups don't look very good. I think I might have naturally long femurs. So this time I made a tibia mock up.

I'm not going to tell you (yet) how much I lengthened in this photo but I want to ask the following:

To the untrained eye, would I look fine and proportionate?

To your (trained) eye, does it look disproportionate?

How much would you guess I had lengthened?

It looks good to me and my leg proportions are about the same after LL.
I think you "lengthened" about 6-7 cm.

Anyway for you tibia LL will look better.

Nice one. I lengthened about 7.5 cm in this photo (I am unlikely to go that far irl as it is rather a lot for tibial lengthening- and anyway it's the maximum I'd want to keep my leg length/torso length ratio good). So I do have pretty short tibias.

I personally think it looks fine.
