Is there any documented instances here concerning humerus lengthening? It has been suggested that it is relatively simpler to lengthen this bone, but it is uncertain if anyone has actually undergone the procedure. I am considering undergoing this with the Precice Max (the new weightbearing Precice nail), but I reckon weightbearing might not pose a significant challenge for the arms (would manipulating objects be feasible with a weight bearing nail?). I understand that the maximum achievable lengthening per arm is 5cm, which would result in a total wingspan extension of 10cm (almost 4 inches). Is there an optimal humerus to forearm ratio similar to the femur to tibia ratio? Following limb lengthening, I now have a 4.5 inch height increase over wingspan, which I am concerned may appear disproportionate compared to my legs. I would appreciate hearing from individuals with experience in this area, those with information about it, or anyone who knows someone who has undergone this procedure. Thank you.
