Hey, im considering to lengthen my Tibia with the SalamehFix (its external only).
I want to achieve 6.5-7cm. I am already like 177/178m tall and 19 years old.
But im not sure how much time I have to stay with the fixators. Considering i am young, healthy, strong and will do a good stretching and physio routine. Do you think this is possible?
Lengthening: 2.5-3 Months for 7cm.
Consolidation for 6 Months.
So I would get rid of the device in 8.5-9 Months. But most guys had to wear the device for 1 year and LONGER!
But I am not sure if i can stay more than 1 year in the device...
bonus question: How would you get the money if you are in my age? Take a loan from the bank? Im a student btw..

wow thank you. 1.5 years sounds too much. I might go for LON Femurs than (lon tibias is too risky because of permanent knee pain).
Have you more information about old Salamehfix diary on old forum? i wasnt a member of it

thanks for all your answers.
I have a friend who done femur and tibias with LON and he didnt had much complications.
My only options are Salamefix in Germany, because I live here so my friends/family can help me, or Lon method (probably femur) in Turkey because I have a lot of friends there so i can stay there and i wouldnt be alone the time spending there.
But if walking DURING lengthening with salamefix is possible (i am strong/good amount of muscles) this might be the way to go.
