I'm at about 7cm now. I've been lengthening pretty slowly now and I also took a couple days break here and there so that my legs can relax and be flexible so that I have more chances to reach till 8.5 at least.

Thats cool. I'm pleasantly suprised that LL patients can take breaks for days because I would imagine doctors would be scared of premature consolidation but I guess it depends alot from person to person. Also, has the amount you've been turning proportionate to what you see on x-rays? because sometimes the tendons get stiff and patients have to turn more to gain the true amount they want from what I hear.

Apparently there can't be premature consolidation in a couple days break if you're at more than 5-6cms. & no the amt i have been turning is not in proportionate w the xray but shouldn't increase more per day towards the end cus of the risk of nerve damage.

I'm starting to get excited , I LL be there at the sarin guest house around September for internal femurs. I done internal tibs with sarin back in 2012 , I'm 100% healed but doing 6cms on tibs through my athletic ability abit off so I'm going to even up the ratio with 4cms on femurs to bring total lengthening to 10cms tibs and femur.

Time to add one more to the guest house!

Your athletic ability is going to be worse with a second lengthening, not better. Stretching of the soft tissues is a bigger detriment to athletic ability than the ratio between tibia and femur length.

I said its abit off, nothing major and I still wear 4cm lifts I think that's why it's abit off not because of the lengthening.

Update: getting my frames removed today. Idk how much lengthening it will show in OT since the measurement in OT xray is different from the usual xrays. Hoping to reach 9cms.

the last x-ray shows no callus formation in the gap, and you kept lengthening. Consolidation is going to time.
