I have read from some people that they have never recovered their pre-surgery glutes. Is this a real thing? I think u will recover ur glutes (as well as leg muscles) with time and addecuate gym work, but im interested in read more testimonies about this

I don't see how that would be possible unless you outright just didn't train glutes after surgery.

Femur lengthener here. Just do your PT and you will get your glute and leg muscles back. Only way to lose muscles is to skip your meals and PT and allow your muscles to atrophy.

Ey, i saw ur videos but when did u started ur lenghthening? Bc ur first videos lengthening are 5 months ago only

Editing this to ask when were u able (aproximately) to do walk long distances or to stay up for long times?

Isn't some degree of atrophy going to be inevitable? I can squat 400 lbs now, and I have no delusions that I'm going to maintain that strength during the distraction.

Leg lengtheners have reported recovering their full muscles and strength. It's flexibility or range of motion (ROM) that will not be recovered 100% if lengthened too much, but can be recovered close to 100%.

With squats, longer femurs will make it a little more difficult because of the change in biomechanics (you need more leverage), not loss of strength.

Yes, I agree that muscular strength and size will be recovered (if not greater) post recovery, and there are some studies that confirm this. However, I was referring to size and strength during the distraction and consolidation period, where I assume significant strength and muscularity will be temporarily lost due to the inability to perform heavy compound lifts.

Even if your body allows you to maintain that strength, it’s too risky to put weight to the lengthening devices. Even the weight bearing robs can bend sometimes. I would just train with light weights to be safe.

Isnt it possible to "make force" in ur leg muscles (quads and glutes) during the lenghtening phase so u can try to keep as much as possible? or is it painful? I mean just being in ur bed and squeeze the muscles for some time

During the distraction and early consolidation phase, muscular strength and size will be down. But it will be recovered into the consolidation phase, especially when you start walking independently.
