I understand that a lot of naturally tall people also have long torsos and long wingspans compared to shorter people, but theoretically, what would be the difference between someone with naturally long legs vs. someone with CLL-lengthened legs, given that they have the same torso, arms, etc? Correct me if I'm wrong, but your soft tissue DOES grow as you lengthen and recover; so what would be the major differences?

If you are referring to legs' appearances then except scars I don't think you can distinguish anything from natural legs.
And it's a common topic that natural leg generally has better athletic performances.

Regarding the worse athletic performance part, if new soft tissue is slowly grown, shouldn't naturally long legs and CLL-lengthened legs eventually be pretty much equally capable?

I don't know detalis about soft tissues but your nerves will be lengthened (not grown) after CLL which means your athleticism will deteriorate due to abnormal nerves.

I think they are equally capable of doing most activities.

It's part of the mechanism of CLL man you can just find it in this forum's pinned posts.

If everything goes ok peripheral nerve cells can grow if the "tunnels" they are in (Schwann cells) remain sufficiently, because these serve as "conductors" for nerves cut in an accident, if properly positioned by the surgeon, for nerves to grow AND reconnect themselves.
It's a very good question for the forum to know if stretching of LL at the "right speed" actually causes nerves to also really grow, like that, or just stretch by brut force.
Anedoctally, if that is not the case, everyone may ask "why not cut the nerves to avoid problems of purely stretching nerves" (and then of course reconnect the Schwan cells "tunnels"). I would answer: because it's too dangerous?
But it would be really good if peripheral nerves grow when stretched. I know this partially occurs with muscle when bone is lenghtened.
Maybe Dr. Assayag can help. It's not easy just in a Google search.
New discoveries prove that nerve cells, including in the central nervous system, can even divide (not grow), in some conditions. But unfortunately I don't see any means to apply this clinically in the very near future.

I've heard this theory before by Dr. Donghoon, but I've never head of this being confirmed.

Even if it were true, how exactly would it affect athletic performance? Endurance? Strength?
