IT Band release - must have
« on: August 21, 2018, 07:29:03 AM »
Hi,

I have just watched an interview with Dr. Paley.

Did I understand correctly, that if doing femur lengthening, then the IT-band release is a must have?
At which stage of lengthening should sou consider this surgery? (during lengthening, after lengthening)

I also read many diarys and it seems almost every femur patient is having problems with the IT-band...

I dont know about that, but i first got "widelegs" when i was around 2cm and it was pretty bad in the beginning. Now im almost at 7cm and i still have widelegs but its better compared to when i was at 2cm. So hopefully when i reach my goal of 8cm and stop clicking the widelegs will disappear shortly after.

Dr Paley said that you don't need ITB release if you do option 5
