I have always wondered this. Most doctors say not to do over 5cm in femur lengthening. But what if someone did 5.5 or 6cm.
Would that extra cm actually be that bad and make the surgery that much more riskier?
Interesting.
What do you guys think of Dr Monegal. I'm thinking about doing 5.5 cms with him.
Also do you think this is a surgery that you can hide from most of your friends or do you think they would know that you did the surgery?
That would be the only way lol. I'm going with Dr Monegal. I know a lot of people were bashing on him lately but I don't really understand why and if they are valid comments about him
40-50 k is what I am budgeting for.
Questionable results? That sounds concerning. But yeah some people seem to complain about him. I wish there was more info on him in the web.
And something that threw me off was him defending himself in this forum. I dont know, it was kind of odd. I feel like other docs such as Paley or Guichet or Rozbruch would give less of a fu$k if they were being questioned here. Just my intuition though. I might be 100 percent wrong on him.

I'm probably going with Mitkovic. He seems the best of the cheap ones. Not that it's a good idea to go with the cheap ones if you have the choice! If I had that money I'd probably go with Parihar, he seems to get good results while not being prohibitively expensive. But again, I don't really know enough to comment.
Yeah personally I dont want to touch anything else other than femurs. I feel that with femurs, just by lengthening 5.5 cm, I would be able to go back to close to 100 percent athletic ability.
Quote from: Jack1066 on February 05, 2017, 02:56:54 PMI think being honest it's impossible to go back to 100% even if you do a smaller amount like 4 cm. 5 cm (maybe more on femurs but it all depends on the person) is usually considered the "safe" limit of a small amount. There are just more trade offs the more you do.
Damn really? Yeah I guess what you say makes sense
Quote from: onemorefoot on February 05, 2017, 11:14:49 PMBut we have to take in cosideration that the amount lengthened is not the same as the amount gained, if you say 4 is safe, you are really saying that 5 is safe.
What do you mean by that? If I want to gain 2 inches are you saying that I have to technically gain 3?
