How much is your athleticism hurt by LL? Ability to run, jump, play sports etc.

Edit Post

I have read that leg lengthening severely affects your coordination and athleticism for the rest of your life.

Just how severe of an effect is this? Let's say you get 4cm of femur lengthening. What can you expect in terms of athleticism changes?

Will you walk and run awkwardly for the rest of your life? Will you be able to play basketball or tennis, or will you suck?

And what about your ability to exercise - to lift weights? Could you still squat, deadlift etc. or do those become dangerous?

I don't know yet if I would get LL, and this is important to me. If the effect is too big I probably wouldn't get it.

Thanks guys. Can you still weight lift?

If so I imagine it must affect the amount you can lift, but I'm wondering how much.

Also, OP look up Dr. Donghoon Lee's Youtube channel, he has like over 50+ patients walking and running, etc.

Do patients stop coming here after surgery?
