Thanks! this is really helpful
Is it necessary to do IT band release/ ATL surgery post femur/limb lengthening? What is the approximate maximum length which one can go without IT band/ATL?
Thanks!

I'm not sure of the amount
I didn't even know whether Parihar was doing it on me or not, but I asked him post-op and he said he did.
Don't know how my experience would have changed if he hadn't
he didn't tell you he is going to do that?
or you didn't pay attention to all his explanations?
either way it sound a little weck...
I think it's pretty much required to do an IT band release when using Precice in order to help it distract. I think Dr Birkholtz said something along those lines too, though I'd have to search for it.

Release means lengthening or full removal of IT band? What are the long term complications? You have gone through ATL, did it affect your daily life? Please answer. Thanks.

IT band release is not removal (detrimental!), it's incisions to lengthen it. It will heal over time as if nothing was done to it.
Here's DoingItForMe's experience. There was a recent video with Dr. Paley and he still stands by his opinion.

"weck"?
I don't remember, it was 1.5 years ago and our initial meetings would be 2.5 to 2 years ago. Plus I didn't really care, I figured I wasn't the surgeon so worrying about what to release and not was not my headache. But I remember asking post op and he said yes he did.

How is your recovery is it still 95%? How much are the symptoms such as Duck Ass, Wide legs and equinus etc due to the surgery? Do you anytime feel looseness/pain in your knees due to IT band release?
There is no duckass, I don't know what wide legs is and no knee pain
I only get strain in the quads more than pre-LL when I run, should be better after nail removal. I don't think I can be 100% without taking them out tbh
