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!)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Rule of thumb. 7.5-8 cm max.

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

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.

Went from 5'8 to 6'3.  4 inches in femurs with Dr. Betz in 2009, and 3 inches in tibias in Beijing Institute in 2011.  Used to being tall now, but would gladly drop 3 inches, get some money back, and be able to run again.

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?

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