Title: My proportions, MOCK UPS, 178cm + 7.5-10cm? (PIC) Long time lurker
Post by: heightwanted on August 19, 2018, 03:42:44 PM: Long time lurker here in mid 20s from the UK.

I am looking at LL, I would like to first establish the "maximum" that my proportions will take. (I do have very long arms as you can see from my photos.)

Then of course consider what is practical and can realistically be done.

Leaning towards LON external tibia (despite possible knee issues to reduce time wearing frames) with Dr Solomin/Mitrokvic/Parihar

Or maybe both external tibia and external femur (only a few cm on external femur due to pain of procedure) with Dr Solomin.

Please could people let me know what the think of my proportions in my mock-ups?
My main concern is torso to leg legth ratio, not the split of tibia and femur.

Yeah I'm sure I didn't stretch my arms, I've not measured my wingspan but as you can see from my original photo I do have very long arms.

I am not sure if the legs look to long compared to the torso in the 5 inches (7.5 cm on Tibia and 5.2cm on Femur) mock up.

Post by: heightwanted on August 19, 2018, 06:07:59 PM: Thanks :), I was thinking 7.5cm on tibia as medium drink of water did 7.5cm external lon with Dr Xia.
Also with my starting height it means that my limbs/length of the bone is longer than a large portion of LL patients.

Post by: heightwanted on August 19, 2018, 07:22:01 PM: lol I know I have chicken legs

What is your inseam and wingspan if you know these it’ll give you a pretty good idea of what range you can get to for example someone who is 178 cm tall or 5’10 should have an inseam of around 80 cm and someone at 6’2 should be 86 this is just an example I’m giving you because if you do the lengthening you’d be around 6’1-6’2
