  • I am going to lengthen 28 cm over the years.

So there's now people that are really short doing multiple surgeries and I've seen someone on cyborg4life channel comments claiming he got away with 25 cm increase with 4 surgeries using precice? or something. Now, assuming you perform 8 cm femur and 6 cm tibia, how long do you have to wait (for bone to heal, etc.) to have another two surgeries?

Does anyone have any ideas on how that practically works and how much time it takes to heal overall?

I did 2 surgeries one year apart
But I just got the full 8cm by splitting it
So not beyond 8cm
Precice 2

Edit: I broke at T+0, then I walked again at T+6 months. Then I did the surgery again at T+12 months, to be clear.

Just out of curiosity, what made your decision to split it? I hear you can finish 8 cm with precise in one go

Possible!
Some patients have issue during the lengthening and thus need to stop for few months.
The internal is still inside and thus need to break the bone again for the device to work.
Noone would like to break the same bone area twice...very tremor indeed.
