Captain America External Tibias Dr. Sarin 2013

Edit Post

Greetings to all. After a hiatus to focus on my own recovery I've decided to again make myself available to contribute to and assist those interested in stature lengthening surgery. If Daemon allows it I will assume responsibility for my diary once again as I have its entire contents archived.

I intend to focus my presence primarily on the medical aspects of LL as that is where I feel my contributions will be of most benefit.

I will stay as involved as my life allows and try to make myself readily available to answer questions that anyone may have.

Good to have you back.

We didn't want to lose all the info you posted on old forum  and fortunately Dameon was able to show at least some info from your diary.

Welcome back Captain America

Did the night splints work ?

Since you are a medical intellectual  I always here about splitting the segments evenly e.g. if you want 10cm do 5 on femur + 5 on tibia, but wouldn't it be better to do slightly more on femur ? since it's longer ?e.g. 5.5 cm on femur and 4.5 cm on tibia if you want 10 cm rather than do 5+5 ? what is better in the long run for recovery etc ?

Hey Captain!

Welcome back to the world of LL, Captain Americ! How is your recovery coming along? Are you able to run yet? What are your currents thoughts on proportions and doing your femurs?

.5cm doesn't really matter that much either way, but I agree with you, the femur is longer and should be lengthened more to keep the tibia:femur ratio the same ideally.
