what are the risks in the case of a 5 cm lengthening of the femur with precise stryde with doctor Giotikas. I'm just under 181cm tall at the end of the day and I'm 25 years old. This is not a troll, thank you for respecting my choice and not coming to lecture me or telling me to go see a psychologist. THANKS

5 centimeters is actually very very safe.
Arguably one of the best recovery diaries in this forum is by a guy that did 5-5.7 centimeters.
And he was 173cm at 45yo (!!)
Keep in mind that he was already athletic and very motivated, so I hope you're not fat and lazy or age means nothing.
Not only you're young, so you'll heal faster (on average)
You're pretty tall, so your femurs are already long. Which would mean that 5 centimeters might be 10% of your femurs or slightly more, so in the extreme safe zone.
You'll still need to heal and recover, but without complications, you might go back to 95-99% of your full power.

Thank you breakmylegs for your answer. I'm aiming for 6'1 so 2 inches and my goal is not particularly to be greedy but above all to maintain my physical abilities. I am sporty since I practice a sporting activity 2 to 3 times (gym and mma). I would also like to know if I could get closer to 100% or it's impossible if we undergo LL. for healing let's say 1 year (being able to chew and have fluid movements) and I'm hoping for 1.5 years to run and be able to exercise. I give myself 2 years to finish my studies and collect the money

Think about an athlete getting his legs broken in MMA, do they recover 100%? That depends on the person.
Surgeon Donghoon Lee mentioned that most patients
get back to around 95% after two years, and most of them lengthen 6-7cm in tibias or femurs.
The guy I talked about came back after around 3 years of his surgery and said he's very close to his old self, around 99% of recovery athleticism.
HOWEVER he did say "I feel less explosive" but couldn't put a number on it because he also thought he's getting old.
He did say he was at 80% explosiveness after 1.5 year of consolidation. So if he got get better or not, he was too old to be sure of it.
You can ABSOLUTELY be better than what you are now, that's been proven over and over.
however you'll never know if you are better than what you WOULD'VE BEEN without surgery with the same amount of hard work..
But this isn't a silly surgery, you're breaking your legs brother. Be prepared in the worst case to sacrifice 5-10% of Omar if you don't manage to be at 100%.

ok I see 2 years to be on my feet. what are the deadlines for market quickly enough? and the biomechanics in all that, I mean if we want to lengthen the femur 5 cm is it better to 3 cm femur and 2 cm tibia but for the risk perhaps we should do more?

percentage risk of dying:
percentage of risk of being completely paralyzed:
percentage of risk of walking but very clumsily permanent:
percentage of risk of being able to walk but not run and do sport again:
please give me a percentage based on what I cited above

Everything under 1%.

so in fact the risks are the same as for a classic intervention.

Yeah but you recovery mostly depends on your determination of doing stretchings.
It could be quite tiresome if you are not into sports like me.

hello man, have you finished the lengthening or are you planning to do it?
