Thinner muscles after LL

Edit Post

Leg muscles that lengthen and become thinner after LL surgery, then get thicker again? Or is the lifespan thin?


for example:

I am glad for that.

So your muscles have returned to their original form.

How many cm LL did you do?

Thank you for your information.

I thought my legs would stay like sticks for life too

For his patients it goes from thin during lengthening due to atrophy to thick post recovery lifespan thick. Some people only it varies some of his patient do not thick at all. Some people it becomes thick for a year and goes back. Varies

Is this the same within the femur?

Are the quadriceps muscles also in this group? (for thickening)
