I got 3 surgeries. So, every time, next day, they did an x-ray to my bones so they can see how it looks. And they give me the pictures, too...
for real? isn't it, by any chance, the distortion from Xray picture which always shows a few mm longer than actual?
Quote from: bruhh on April 17, 2024, 08:25:56 PMYes, you gain more right after surgery and I ended up getting more length than what the ERC was showing.
how many mm is your gain from the surgery itself?

Yes, for real.
Lovinglonglegs, forget about the first time gap !... its not important.
Your main problem is to check the exact bones lengthen AFTER finishing the total length, so you can be sure you have no discrepancies !
To my understanding, it is not standard practice to create a gap by moving the bone a few millimeters without using an ERC during PRECICE surgery.
In standard surgical procedures, the lengthening amount doesn't become longer than the maximum extension length of PRECICE (8 cm).
However, it is true that creating a gap without using an ERC during surgery can result in a greater final bone lengthening amount.
I would like to know about doctors who adopt this method in PRECICE surgery.

as you see the comments and from what i heard before, it's said there's immediate gap. I personally hope precice can increase more than 8cm
