Hey everybody,

"If money isn't an issue"

Would doing like 3 cm femurs and 3cm tibias make someone recover 95% of athleticism?

I would like to hear from people who actually did it.

Also, do you think doing only tibias for 5-6cm is a good decision. (I can't do only femurs as I need to fix bowlegs and lengthen tibias at the same time)

Thanks

If i were you i would have choose 3cm tibia and 5cm Femur. With in safe limits.

I swear you guys become bigger pussies each day. By 2025 we'll have people advocating for 2cm lengthening being "safe".

Not interested in anyones justifications for being a wuss, tell it to someone who cares.

I think you should try doing 0.5 cm on tibias and 0.5 cm on femurs. That way you won't lose your athleticism at all.

I have a better option, do not do it nothing, doing zero cm in each segment you will be safe and short.

Going trough this for less than 5 cm is so stupid...

It depends. If i were 5'7 and my goal was 5'9 i would easily do 4 cm on femurs and 2.5 on tibs in an ideal world for bio mechanics, proportions, safe limits etc. I f money isnt an issue. If you dont know what you want i would see a therapist to see if they can help you figure out if this is something you even want to do. Once youre in it, its not something you can get out of. This isnt an easy procedure either. Its very individual to each patient in terms of pain tolerance, flexibility, mental health, all these are things you must consider cause one of these 3 will impact you pretty hard. Worse thing you can do is get the surgery and then realize you didnt want it as bad as you thought tbh cause this will test your patience in the worse way.

If you're 5ft 7 you need a lot more than 2 inches if you're going through 2 surgeries. 5ft 9 isn't close to where height benefits are maxed, you really might as well push it to 5ft 11 at least from 2 surgeries.

Nah you should go for 0cm so you recover in less than 1 second and lose 0% athleticism bro

B-but muh squat numbers bro!

Better to be some battle gnome power manlet than a normal sized human bro!

Go for 5.5cm femur and 4cm tibia, safe limit and worth the hassle of 2 surgeries, time, pain etc. yes ppl recover 98% and some to full level if disciplined, there are a few examples out there. Otherwise do 6cm in femur & just do 1 surgery. Met a guy who did 6cm precise femur 2 years ago & now he can jump, sprint, burpees etc. stay ahead of your game with PT sessions and exercise and you’ll be fine. Remember 2 surgeries is 2 operations it’s not just abt money.

[TheDream]

4 cm femur and 3.2 cm tibia would be better as you conserve the 0.8 tibia to femur ratio.

True, two surgeries mean you gotta get a minimum of 2 inches each segment otherwise just do one for two inches. I think 5'9 is a good height in the U.S, you're 50 percent taller than all males and 90 percent taller than females. It is a height where I have no complaints being at.

Meh.. 5'9 is s good height... might not be perfect but you are no longer having the negative of shortness. It is a neutral height

If I'm committing to 2 surgeries and starting at 5ft 7 I want a damn lot more than being still an inch or so below average. I mean it's super easy to do 5cm+5cm and become 5ft 11 in this scenario, there's no good reason not to.

If OP is happy with being 5ft 9, just get it done in one surgery then, it's only 5cm. fking around with 2 surgeries to 'preserve muh athleticism' is ridiculous especially when the lengthening goal is modest to begin with.

going back if i were to only do less like that i probaly wouldnt do it at all

If u want to recover 95％ of ur athleticism, then don't do it.
Clearly u care about your athleticism more than ur height.
