he average knee height?
It's not the knee height. At Mangal Anand they determine lengths with a full body X-Ray.
Kilo, what was your femur length? Were your legs short in general or just tibia?
Quote from: Penguinn on October 29, 2016, 03:29:05 AMMine were 33.6... almost an inch longer than yours at 5'2. 
Maybe mine were especially short or you just had long tibiae for your height

My femur length is exactly 43 cm.

Mine were 42, so I had longer legs than you at 5'2 lol. And mine have always looked short. All this makes me think proportions are overrated.
So Kilo, all things considered, would you say you feel normal and have the ability to massively improve to a point where you were pre-LL?

Do tell when you finish your lengthening and consolidated Penguin! I look forward to that and your journey!

Kilo hypothetically if you did femurs now, would you do 2 or 3"?

Oh no that's fine man. I'm just saying, when it's all said and one I just want to hear your opinion about it is all!
My tibs pre op were 27cm and my femurs were 43cm at 5'6 some one wanna remain me again how important proportions are? Lol
27? A 10" tibia for a 5'6 person? 
27/43 is 0.62, that's a crazy natural femur:tibia ratio.

I'm just saying, when it's all said and one I just want to hear your opinion about it is all!I'm not worried at all about my body:leg ratio. Your whole body is way too big for 3" to be that noticeable, I was a bit worried about my femur to tibia ratio which will be 0.67 after LL... but reading about Morissette's pre-op proportions makes me think I was being silly.
They were at 27.87 around that so 11" but still crazy unnatural and at no point in my life did anyone ever point out my short tibs neither did I feel out of proportion. Comes to show many on this forum take proportions too far

And your sitting height is...?
As a fellow 5'5 i measured myself too.
166cm of height, 32cm tibias but 37cm femurs.
