Ex:

1. Do precise 2 on tibias

2. Do 2 cm

3. Wait a few years.

4. Break both tibias again and go up from 2cm->6cm

This step 4-> how long does it take?

assuming youre talkign about the sleeper rod method

step 4 would take somewhere between 60- 87 days
how did i get that number?

if you look at the average rate of lengthening tibs most surgeons do 0.5mm-0.75mm per day
so a goal of 40mm(4cm) would take you 53-80 days. i added 7 extra days because most surgeons dont start the actual lengthening period until 1 week post

this is assuming your lengthening journey goes perfectly

This seems like a horrible idea. I’m no doctor but this seems like repeated stress on the muscles. And just a waste of time and money
