I think this is an overblown issue. I also dont even believe LL would take 20% of your max potential unless doing quadrilateral and high amounts then its possible.

of course it basically sets you to zero but theres no reason after a few years you wouldn't be able to get back to where you were

There is a lot of factors implied: method, doctor, how many cm you lengthen and at what rythm you do it, etc.

However, if you play it safe with those factors, unless you are a professional athlete it should be ok.

I also think that it should be possible to go back exactly where you were before surgery. The reason the opposite believe is so extended is because (1) you didn't play it safe with the basic factors or (2) because to get to the previous surgery point you had to use your body for decades, and, almost always, what is compared to that, is the state achieved by only a few years of recovery.

Also it is worth of mention that many of the people that don't achieve good athletic capacities post surgery is because they never had them in first place.

It will be interesting to see if in the future someone surpass this myth.

its frustrating how messy this discourse is

IIRC Paley claims new muscle is also grown when you stretch the legs which honestly makes sense considering I dont know how outcomes would be as close to as good as they are if they aren't. to me, intuitively, you cant just stretch a muscle 8cm and expect to ever be very functional again, maybe this intuition is wrong though and muscles do just stretch.

other Drs claim muscles do not grow. Paley is definitely one of the highest if not the highest level doctor but he could be wrong.

If the muscles do grow, it should have zero impact over the very long term (3+ years) on your ability but im also fairly sure thats not the case. Or maybe its more nuanced and its a different kind of muscle tissue thats weaker that grows.

It really depends on your genetics and current fitness levels.

Some can recover back to normal, I've seen LL patients from Dr Hoon who lengthened 7-8CM on tibia and they can sprint pretty fast and normally but on some KR forums, I read that people who do this much ended up having to stretch daily / weekly for life.

Then on the other hand, there's also guys like this, like what the f**k is that sprint? this is after 2 and a half years lengthening 3 inches in femur...


20% off potential athleticism for a guy like that ^ is crazy.
20% off someone who is already fit and can run normally isn't so bad.

[informationispower]

Lengthening amount is the biggest factor grom what I have seen. I dont remember seeing someone who lengthened max 6cm on femurs who didnt recover good functionality afterwards

[sered22]

He looks very strange while running and all the comments are saying it looks good. He himself said he is 90% recovered. If that is 90% recovery then I dont know what to say. Why does it look so strange after 2 years for him? Is this normal? Because if his recovery is normal and good after 2 years then I am not so sure anymore about this
