    I also have a website along with this RUclips channel to help assist with concerns about leg lengthening surgery. I have arranged for details on my website.
    Here is the Services page where you can order accurate mockup pictures of yourself for a small fee. See for yourself what your proportions will look like after a specified limb lengthening surgery, rather than trying to guess based on some numbers.
    There are four types of services available on our website:
    1. Consultation Call
    2. Mockup Pictures
    3. My Leg Lengthening Diary
    4. X-ray Analysis

    I think that while you're going through the lengthening phase you worry a lot more about your proportions because your legs are so skinny due to atrophy and they might look longer because of that reason. But once u get muscle back it tends to look better

    • @HeightJourney
      @HeightJourney  3 года назад +1

      Yeah, if you look at my wheelchair video in the Introduction Part 1 video, my legs were skinny. My tibia:femur looks a bit disproportionate because I've been doing a lot more workout on my femur muscles than my tibia (calves) muscles, so my femurs are more muscular, and looks bigger. I need to work more on my tibia muscles, so they are about as muscular as my femur muscles and makes them look more proportionate.

    My femurs measure 41.5cm and tibias 40cm with a total leg length of 89.5.
    Overall, I measure 172 (maybe more, because my spine is quite crooked, but its length from the C7 vertebra to the bend at the pelvis is somewhere between 47-49, I personally measured 47, but others measured me more, which corresponds to a height of 177-183 cm).
    However, the wingspan is very treacherous to measure (because again it is a slightly devastated part of my body), as I got numbers from 174-181cm. People tell me I have long arms (which means they must be more than a bottom 174, say 177) basically they end about 10cm from the knees up.
    My two questions are how do I measure my wingspan when I have limited movement and how many cm+ for femurs would look best?
    Thank you!

      Second, about the best proportions for femur lengthening, don't get obsessed with numbers. You only need to worry if your proportions are way out of proportion.
      I offer services for mockup pictures at a low price to help you visualize your proportions after lengthening a certain leg bone segment by a certain amount. Seeing for yourself is much better than looking at some numbers.

      @HeightJourney  3 года назад

      For those of you not familiar with my blog, I would post my monthly X-rays (around the middle of the month) in consolidation phase. With RUclips, I will do it a bit differently.
      I had my monthly X-rays on December 16. Consolidation is good as usual. I am allowed to do light athletic activities. I will display my X-rays in my next PT progress video, which should be about a week from now. I want to include some newer exercises and activities in the video since I am in light athletic mode.
      I'm almost done with consolidation. The last consolidation phase is medium athletic activities, which I expect to reach in mid-January. Then the rods removal surgery is not too far away (my surgery was March 18). I will definitely have a lot of informative videos on the rods removal surgery, preparation, and recovery stages coming up.

    How do you measure total leg length accurately? Im 71 inches tall and just eyeballing it, since I dont have Xray vision to see where the top margin of my femur joint head is, it looks about 36 inches (?). From floor to ASIS its 55% of my height. ASIS is a more easily accessible landmark, do you have any data on that?

    • @HeightJourney
      @HeightJourney  Год назад

      An X-ray with markers is the most accurate measure of your leg lengthens. But you can still get a good estimate without an X-ray. I have a video on this.

      You can do 10cm if you are lengthening femurs and tibias. It's more attractive to have an LBR ratio to be a little above average, so you should be fine.

    Do you need an x-ray/MRI to measure interlimb ratio or is there a way to measure it at home (at least to give a rough estimate)?

    • @HeightJourney
      @HeightJourney  2 года назад +2

      The only way to get an accurate measurement of your femurs and tibias is with an advanced X-ray machine with markers. Also, you don't just walk into an X-ray clinic and order X-rays, like walking into a restaurant and ordering food. You will need a doctor's order for X-rays.
      You can get a rough estimate with a tape measure and press it against your leg. It's easier with the tibias, but with the femurs it's a bit harder because the upper femur ends at the round femoral head (hip joint) that goes into the hip socket of the pelvis. You can still estimate the femur with a tape measure by measuring from the bottom of the femur to the top of the greater trochanter (the bony part of the upper femur that you can feel on the side of your lower hip), then add 0.5 inch or 1.2cm to that length (assuming you are between 5'4" to 5'10").

      You should be fine with 5 inches max lengthening (3 inches femurs and 2 inches tibias). Anything more than that gets more riskier, dangerous, and disproportionate.

    I am thinking of doing this but I am not sure about the numbers. I have read online that the average sitting height is around 0.51 or 51%. So how can the average Leg to body ratio then be 0.50 to 0.52?
    For example me. I am 169.5 cm, my sitting height is 86.5 cm and leg length 83 cm.
    My sitting height is 0.51 which is average but when I follow your model on leg to body I get 0.489 which is below average? So my sitting height is average and my leg length is below average? Both cannot be true

Im' 165.7 in the morning and 164.3 at night (I don't know why but normal). I'm still very short and I want how many cm I can lengthen in my femur so as not to look too disproportionate. Thank you

    • @HeightJourney
      @HeightJourney  2 года назад

      If your tibia and femur measurements are correct, you can lengthen your femurs 8cm and still have a 0.787 tibia:femur ratio, which is normal.
      You can have as low as 0.70 tibia:femur ratio after femur lengthening and the T:F ratio is fine. It’s only if it’s excessively out of range (I’m guessing under 0.66) then it can look weird to some people (if they even notice T:F ratio).

      While I am not a doctor, I am very educated with leg lengthening surgery (since I have gone through it) and have talked with doctors and experts in this field.
      It would be great to re-engineer our bodies to any way we want, to be the right height, weight, muscularity, athletic, limb lengths, etc... In reality, the human body has limitations. To lengthen the femur (the largest bone that can gain the most length), a max of about 3 to 3.5 inches is possible, because the soft tissues (especially muscles) limits the length. The best leg lengthening technology we have is the Stryde internal nails, which are full weight bearing. The Stryde was recalled in early 2021 and may return in 2023. Another feasible advancement in LL would be to consolidate the bones faster, so the LL patient can recover to normal faster.

      You can measure your tibia length quite accurately because the bones are much more visible. The problem with femurs is that you don't know exactly where they start, you can put a bit of pressure on the side of the leg and find the great trochanter and try to add an inch to the measurement, but it won't be 100% accurate because the top part of our femurs (the part that ''connects'' to the waist) might have different shapes and be more horizontal so less height or much more vertical.
