I would disagree that 5cm on the femurs and/or tibias is necessarily the limit. I would go with what Dr. Paley says: 7 cm (or maybe slightly more) on the tibias and 8 cm on the femurs.

I know you really want to get to 6'1" but if your going to do that much, you really would probably need 2 surgerys on each section (if that is possible). Your sitting height is the same to mine but it still would probably be best to go that route. I'm thinking of doing 4cms on my tibias and maybe 3-4 on my femurs which would put me in the 6'3.5-6'4" range (ideal height for footballer!)

ideal height for footballer?? look at Lionel Messi , Maradona , etc... the tallest is Christiano CRonnie7 that is 184 or 6,1

He's american (notice how he says 6'3.5 instead of 192) so he means american football. Also I think CRonnie7 is 186CM not that I know much about sports.

Typical misunderstanding between football and American "football". Lol

[ShortyMcShort]

Just play Rugby, no misunderstandings, problem solved 

[ReadRothbard]

Yeah, my plan is 7 cm on the tibias and 8 cm on the femurs. With that, I'll reach 184 cm, which might be slightly less than my goal, but is still alright.

[endomorphisme]

I love how short dudes worry with proportions, I m 6 feet and I m not preocupied by those things hehe

Most people never even heard of Rugby in the U.S. we have a rugby team but don't know who it is.
But basically model height in America is 5'11.75-6'3" (was 6'2" but they upped it to 6'3" and have a select amount of men who are 6'4" but no one under 5'11" barefoot) baseball is 6'3", and  American football ideal is preferably 6'3.5-6'5" (with 6'4" being sweet spot).

He's american (notice how he says 6'3.5 instead of 192) so he means american football. Also I think CRonnie7 is 186CM not that I know much about sports.

CRonnie7 was measured at a hair over 6'1" so yes that's equal to 186 cm (6'1.25")

But the difference should be very slight no? 178/170=1,047 and 188/180=1,044

So there is a 4,4% increase in 188 from 180 compared to 4,7 in 178 from 170. The difference is less than half a percent not very significant.

I don't think I can do more than 5cms each segment because I already have long legs. I will be just under %50 of my proportions for doing 10cms so I think I'll probably do "2 max on my tibias maybe even "1.5 to be even safer.

[Lorelei]

In your opinions, anybody's opinion with reasonable experience on the matter, is lengthening 7 cm per limb too risky?

I don't think it's too risky, as long as you go to a good doctor.

That applied to both tibia and femurs ? Thank you for your answer

[Medium Drink Of Water]

Yes, both tibiae and femurs.

[ReadRothbard]

I don't think it's too risky, as long as you go to a good doctor.

I think the rule of thumb is to lengthen a single segment no more than 20% of original bone length.

[Moubgf]

Rule of thumb. 7.5-8 cm max.

[Ajax2thousand20]

So did Crazy 6 do 3" on Tibias and 5" on femurs? What was the amount on each surgery?

16 cm total. 8cm on each i think it was. He looked recovered and good so that is great.

Do you know how old was he? How much in your opinion age factors in recovery?

I thought he did 17 cm, and was more or less crippled for life.

Slim Tim was being sarcastic.

[greekster]

I did 10 cm in my femurs and 7.5 cm in my tibias.  At 6'3" I am too skinny for my height.  Though steroids temporarily kept my weight fine for my height, I knew that I could not take steroids for the rest of my life and stopped.  I cannot run and probably never will.  If I could go back in time, I would have stopped at 6'1 or so.

Hi Greekster, I remember you from way back in the day on the old forum. That's a shame you're unable to run. How's your walking? Do you get random aches and pains or anything?

[galaxy1]

I thought the same thing and the video he posted was very hard to watch.

[Ajax2thousand20]

Greekster. Allthough I'm not considering going beyond 5cms each segment, can you at least walk?

[ForcedPuberty]

mr greekster

long time no hear. I am gratefull that you decided to post.

I appreciate vets opinions. and hope you stay and talk with us your opinion is invaluable.

Have you gone to some PT clinics to see off they could do anything?
