This guy got clavicle lengthening with some russian surgeon using distraction.

All the surgeons who perform clavicle lengthening in the west(only Eppley and Leif rodgers afaik) only lengthen by 1-2cm and use the sliding clavicle osteotomy which limits how much widening can be achieved because of the surrounding shoulder anatomy and soft tissue attachments.

Distraction mitigates this because it gives the surrounding tissue more time to adapt and stretch gradually to the widening which would mean more length could be achieved.

Patient: young man
25 years old
Height 173
Indications for surgery: aesthetic
The operation was carried out according to our author's
minimally invasive technique✔️
Lockable rods are installed in the collarbones on both sides
KUDSAI external fixation devices were applied✔️

🟢The rate of bone lengthening in the KUDSAI apparatus is 1 mm/day
🟢While wearing the device, the patient lives a full life
🟢Full rotation of arms, shoulders, neck and back is maintained.

65 days after the operation, the desired lengthening was achieved - the devices were removed✔️

🟢Shoulder width before surgery: 48 cm
🟢Shoulder size after surgery: 54 cm​

Also it sounds like it's based on the device the soviets used to lengthen legs after injuries or for people with uneven legs.
 
What do you think @User28823

lifefuel to see more surgeons using the distraction method and that more people are willing to document their experience

will get this done in a heartbeat once more people at least verify no mobility issues like the sliding osteotomy causes

also wonder what limiting factor the scapula has in how much u can lengthen

Whats the recovery like on this, I wonder why it isnt a popular thing in the bodybuilding scene. Or maybe it is and idk

it isn't really performed cosmetically with distraction (not sure why)

the variant that is performed(sliding clavicle osteotomy) produces minimal results and often leads to complications and problems with shoulder function because of the immediate lengthening of the clavicle which places a lot of stress on the adjacent shoulder anatomy
 
0 smv increase btw and it will make him look shorter at 173cm the more broader he is
 
From 19 inch bidelt framelet to 22inch mogger
 
What is recovery like for this method?
