Hey all! I’ve been reading how this surgery is more complicated for women because they have thinner bones & even shorter starting height. I am a 149cm (barely 4’11) woman and weigh 45kg. Please tell me there are successful stories of petite women here. If I were above 5 I would’nt be considering this. The irony is, the shorter you are, the riskier it is,(overall  shorter tendons, abnormal proportions etc)

Thanks! Any idea what her starting height was? I wish there was more data, esp with Precice on short women.

Why would you say it was a disaster?

Omg that’s terrible to not be able to walk well after 4 years 😞 do you know whether she did Precice? And whether she lengthendd too much? I might do just 5cm tibia which is so less considering the high cost but then again health & function is more important..
