I want to lengthen my tibias, 5 cm at max.
And I want to go .6mm's per day since I've read it a lot here that soft tissue can't stretch itself more than 0.66mm per day.

Is it true? What are the benefits of going for 0.6mm per day rather than 1mm?
Is there any possible ways for the docs to detect my own soft tissue stretch limit per day? Because, It changes person to person, you know.

I want everything to be perfect and considered. I don't know If EVEN paley does it. (checks all the important sh*t on your legs and make a daily limit according to them)

Best Regards

Soft tissue can barely stretch at all, that's why it's painful and tight after like a few cm.

 You're thinking about bone growth. Tibia bone growth at that rate is ideal to avoid non union and avoid premature consolidation. You pull the bone apart too fast, now you have a big gap with no signs of connection. You pull too slow, now the bone hardens and your Lengthening device stops working and you'll need to rebreak your bone. Femur it's 1mm a day, the bone grows faster.

Pretty much you gotta go through LL to know your bone growth rate. There's not really a test or blood work to check this. For the vast majority of people, 1mm for Femurs and .75 or .67mm for Tibias is fine. Scientists have studied these numbers upon discovery of distraction osteogenesis and it's pretty uniform for most humans. Race can also plays a factor, MDOW saids Asians bone growth are slower.

Smokers also have less bone growth, so don't smoke. And weight bearing is apparently the biggest reinforcement for good bone growth, which is also why stryde is game changing. Standing vs bedridden makes all the difference.

Thank you very much for your answer.
The thing is, can we develop our soft tissue to avoid the tightness, can we adapt the soft tissue as good as we used to have our agility?

or is it just, after the surgery; there's no coming back from it. Your soft tissue takes damage and you cannot develop it again?

It's been shown you actually grow new soft tissue after distraction. But it's not going to be alot in the timeframe of the lengthening phase, but rather years and years you'll grow enough to essentially have tissue physically grow more and be back to normal

Thanks,

Are there any steps we can take in order to heal our soft tissue faster, any supplements or something else?

It's all about stretching. A veteran LLer said that no matter what everyone will be tight and can't outstretch the lengthening no matter how hard they work- so the only purpose to stretching is essentially damage mitigation.everyone will be stretched beyond belief from lengthening, and you're job is to go from very horrible flexibility to just "bad" while lengthening. There really is no easy magical.pill or stuff like that

So all the "going back to our %90" stuff are bullsh*t?

I'm talking about during lengthening only.

Ah, I understand now and I appreciate all your responses, I was hoping you to answer the thread when I was about to post it also.

Have a good day.
