Simultaneously?? No way. Thanks for finding this

which doctor recommend doing only 5cm in totality by lengthening tibias and femur 2.5cm at the same time. provide the source, no logic by any mean

Paley did simultaneous lengthening on femur and tibia on one patient, but he doesn’t offer it because the risk of fat embolism is way higher and you could seriously die for doing all 4 limbs at once. Unless it’s internal nails It is extremely dumb in my opinion, even with internal nails the pain of 6 broken bones (femur tibia and fibula) it would be pretty F ing bad

LON simultaneous lengthening sounds almost impossibly torturous but I’ve seen in person a number of patients for Paley and debiparshad who are doing quadrilateral precise. It’s basically torture but people who are very flexible and who are extremely motivated can get their goals. Most seem to stop earlier than their goals because of the immense pain of two segments and then just allow consolidation early. Some go back to rebreak later and do more, others don’t.
I wouldn’t recommend quadrilateral to virtually anybody tbh. Bilateral tibias looks like torture compared to femurs, and femurs are not easy. Combine those and I bet it’s more painful than the sum of their pain.
A friendly advice, any surgeon that promises you that you would be able to return to sport after a fixed timeframe is a scam doctor.

lol dude I won’t be harsh. If your goal is 7+ you can get that on femurs only. Any doctor that operates and your femurs and Tibias at once has no Morals and or integrity.
You will also have to OD On painkillers to keep the pain away...and I don’t even see that working for LON. I just don’t see you being capable of walking at all.
LON is the devils bitter Ex GF... is Physically torturing, Menatally exhausting and Just Frustrating on a daily.
Yeah, I don't believe in quick recovery. People after ordinary fractures take a long time to be able to return to sport, let alone patients after LL.
I thought things through and came to the conclusion that it would be better to focus only on the tibias. Still have concerns about hypermobility, though, as that could completely rule me out of the surgery.
There was a policy change at my company regarding Covid and strictures and we just received word that we are to return to the office in January 2022. If I were to have surgery in August, is there any chance of walking on my own after those 5 months?
