Low budget and short femurs...

What to do? D:

[Datum]

Forget about LL.

Forget about LL.

Really? Shouldn't I just take the horrible external femur path or get longer tibs?

[onemorefoot]

If you have little femurs, you have more little tibias, start with that segment, dont lengthen above 6.5 And everything Will be fine.

Low budget equals external tibias

[Jack1066]

You can surely save up a little extra and do internal femurs? You might have to wait longer, but it seems worth it to me. It's much better to have longer femurs- otherwise you'll probably have a higher risk of arthritis later on.

BTW, not wanting to create another thread to ask this: how are you supposed to measure your femur? Isn't it from the inguinal crease on the external side of the leg down to the bit where you can feel the femur connect to the tibia?

[Jack1066]

You can certainly do internal femurs for 25,000 euros or even less all in all, even if you have extra money for complications.

Where in the world can you do internal femurs for 25 k euros?

The only way to measure your femur is through a special x-ray like the EOS.

Just curious, why can't I do external femurs?

[Penguinn]

Have you gotten X-Rays of your legs or are you saying your femurs are short from looking at them? Measuring your legs with a tape from the outside is absolutely and utterly pointless.

But I can imagine how it would look with extra cm.
For example, if sit on my legs in a bowing position, my feet stay under the thighs, but after ll the feet will stay exactly out of the thighs

I mean this type of sitting.

If your feet stay under your thighs and not your ass in that position, there's a chance your tibias are actually relatively short. Or am I misunderstanding?

Regardless, an X-Ray is the only way you should conclude whether your femur is long or short. All this speculation serves no purpose.

The feet stay right under my butt.

Well really strictly speaking, LON or LATN, so not purely internal methods.

As for proportions, so you know which segment to lengthen, it's good to be able to get an idea of whether your femurs or tibias are proportionally long or short.
