It's absolutely possible. this surgery is a scientific process. Of course it has risks but all surgeries have risks. You just need to do physical theraphy (physiotherapy) after the surgery and have nutritional diet. Pre-surgery exercises will help you recover faster too.

What is the point of getting back to "100 percent" unless you are a competitive athlete. If you are not in world-class shape before the op, either A) It won't matter, because you have no competition to judge the minuscule difference between 95-100 percent B) You can always get in better shape if you weren't busting your ass to be at the top of your game pre-op. In that case, you will better 110 percent because you have chosen to train way more than before.

Before I did my op I was obsessed with this stupid notion of 100 percent. Within 6 months post-op, I was getting drunk at frat parties, reconnecting with friends, meeting girls, and enjoying my fking life.

you can get to 100% depending on length but not for football or other oxplosice sports

[John wick]

Thats depend on your gastrosoleus muscle. If you have no deserve in it then you have to lenthen them and then you will never recover as before (some doctors won't lenthen this muscle). But if you didn't need it then you will recover but your body will change and you have to adapt with it.

what are you on about - if you do tibia a reasonab;e amount then you recover

Yes but people don't have the mental capacity after being draine from months of LL

Very good question. I am working on it as I pride myself with my athletic ability pre surgery. Only time can tell if I could ever get back to my old self.

[sphenopetroclival]

yyyyyyyyyeah... i dont think so


why a longer leg is a stronger leg... no idea

in fact its the exact opposite for  soft tissue.. lengthening weakens them

i dont  know why people   delude themselves..... accept the positives about lengthening.... you get taller

thats about it actually, but its a big big plus

Well, there is this phenomena that when bone is broken and lengthened at tibia it; for some reason grows back much "thicker" than before. Which implies cell proliferation at the area and if true; one could expect to exert more force at this segment once completely recovered. People at this forum are making comments at recovery related stuff we simply don't understand yet

I did 9cm on femurs and I lost probably 70% of my athletic ability. I would assume its different if you only lengthen your tibias though.

Didn't you just stop lengthening a few weeks ago, though?

[ReadRothbard]

The real answer is this is a very complicated question that depends on what you mean by "100% of your athletic ability".

Its been 1,5 years since I had my nail removal.

My mistake—I got you confused with someone else. Could you please elaborate on the loss of your abilities, though?

[6CMFemurs]

@ Taller Tree: I felt that way too a couple years post-op. Now I have recovered, even with my nails still in place many years later.

[balme]

wow, are you serious about that? how is your gait? how is your jogging,running performance? also what is your age?

did you get an ITB release? if not its something to consider even now years later it will help out with your quality of life

[balme]

is there any known long term side effects of itb release?
