Its been now 3 years from your femur LL. How is it going right now? Still any issues with that or nothing at all?
I have recovered totally from my femur LL. No tightening, stiffness or anything else.
In general, I will have my next x ray end of the year and then I should know if the consolidation has been completed on both tibias. The right one was done, just the left was a little bit behind but this was still in a normal range considering that the time and length I have lengthened. Functionally I am almost like before which means I can live the daily life like before. I don’t know if I will come back to the speed and explosiveness I had before the surgery as I haven’t start to exercise running yet. Squads work in generell already but I feel that my gravity center has changed do to my shifted proportions. I am about 72%-73% t/f ratio. However nothing I really care about as I have not done lifting before anyway. When the rods came out next year I will start slowly with playing soccer and for the time being I am optimistic that this should be possible. Let’s see and ask me end of 2026…
My journey - Dr. Betz April 2022
@Taller90: Your increase in height is truly remarkable. More than 15 cm is really crazy.
I am writing to you because I am also planning to undergo this operation with Dr. Becker next year. I am planning a length of 6.5 to 8 cm. My biggest problem is that my height corresponds to my wingspan (approx. 172 cm). This means that a limb length increase of 8 cm would result in a wingspan that is 8 cm shorter than my height, which is very unusual.
As you also have a shorter wingspan, would it be possible to show me an anonymized photo of you so I can see your proportions. You can also simply send me a DM. That would help me enormously in my decision-making process!

Can you please tell me if you received a discount from Dr. Becker, since this is your second surgery with him?
