I have done a lot of research on ll, it looks like a lot of people are saying it will " cripple " you ? I dont know if thats true because the limitation of LL is the surrounding things around the bone, the bone can grow unlimit length but the tissues blood vessels and nerves and muscle are the reason why there are cm or inch limits, look at Paul George for example from NBA, he had a very bad tibia fracture (way worse than LL), but he come back to NBA actively just 8 months to go back to playing in the game ( Aug 2014 to Apr 2015), the difference is that his case is not lengthening but a very bad fracture, but starting to play in intense basketball games in just 8 months motion wise is much more crazy and demanding than most if not all LL patients rehab motion range, considering Paul George has been playing fine with very above average stats in the NBA and most people who did LL will not even ever need to do that much demanding and intense exercise before or after LL, how does this surgery "cripple" you??

With proper PT, it can't "cripple" you unless your surgeon made severe mistakes. Yes, the only problem is muscles and nerves. Without any kind of gene therapy, it's impossible to go beyond their natural limits.
