Title: Splitting the lengthening process
Post by: Limbfan2020 on May 01, 2023, 05:48:48 PM

Hello,

most ll patients lengthen around 1 mm per day in one step. For preventing knee pain or nerve issues, would it be better to split the lenghtening process into three parts, like 0,33 mm in the morning, 0,33 mm in the afternoon and 0,33 mm in the evening?
