Throughout the limb lengthening process, I typically slept about 4 hours per night as a result of nighttime discomfort and pain. Additionally, I relied on a wheelchair around 99% of the time, with minimal usage of the walker averaging less than 100 steps per day, representing the extent of my physical activity.
Nevertheless, I experienced indications of early consolidation and had to extend by 1.33 and later 1.66 mm daily to achieve my target of 8cm.
Despite lengthening by 8cm, I managed to develop enough bone growth to walk independently after 4 months.
The outcome largely relies on chance and primarily genetics. Measures such as consuming calcium supplements, increasing food intake, engaging in more walking, et cetera, do contribute to some extent but not significantly.
