Tibia mock-up
« on: August 17, 2017, 10:16:16 AM »

So far I've only looked at the possibility of femoral lengthening. However most of my femur mock ups don't look very good. I think I might have naturally long femurs. So this time I made a tibia mock up.

(The photo is really zoomed in when you click on the link and I can't change it. Press crtl and - to zoom out and get the full view).

I'm not going to tell you (yet) how much I lengthened in this photo but I want to ask the following:

To the untrained eye, would I look fine and proportionate?

To your (trained) eye, does it look disproportionate?

How much would you guess I had lengthened?

It looks good to me and my leg proportions are about the same after LL.
I think you "lengthened" about 6-7 cm.

Anyway for you tibia LL will look better.

Nice one. I lengthened about 7.5 cm in this photo (I am unlikely to go that far irl as it is rather a lot for tibial lengthening- and anyway it's the maximum I'd want to keep my leg length/torso length ratio good). So I do have pretty short tibias.

I personally think it looks fine.

5'6.5'' lengthened 6.5cm in Volgograd with Dr. Barinov OP: October 25th 2017. 5'9" currently with IM nail. Personally don't recommend doing LL at this clinic.
