I am at an AirbBnb and I study from home. It is easier to stay in Istanbul for the lengthening. I might move elsewhere for the consolidation period just until I am walking good enough to return home.
Hey jamsey how much will it cost per month to stay in istanbul in terms of US dollars.

400-600 dollars, rent and food. X-Rays will run you about 100 dollars or so every 3 weeks to a month and then there is also physiotherapy which is 100 dollars give or take for 3 one hour sessions.
Does Dr Halil Buldu do leg deformity correction (valgus and procurvatum deformity correction) with external ilizarov device?

This is the one reasons I’ve never been completely comfortable in deciding to go with Buldu... he uses monorail to fix the deformities cases he gets, which no other reputable doctor does. You can check them in his instagram pages (LiveLifeTaller, limblengtheningturkey). I don’t think I’ve seen one post of a patient with Ilizarov, all monorails.
He actually do Ilizarov,but i'm quite sure it's just not the most use method anymore,especially on his instagram page,that's not something he can make promotion off

That's nice,how is the pain level,i mean can you still work on a daily basis,let's say on your computer ? I'm looking to do the same surgery as yours,i was wondering as i work from my computer,if i could get enough sleep and enough energy to keep working correctly,do you move out of your place to get reeducation ?
External femurs (or LON, no difference), even with monorails, is a very very bad decision. No respectable doctor does it.
Monorails have huge screws that cut through your skin and muscles.
On my tibias there was hardly muscle on the inside side I have put them to tear it but on femurs there are muscles everywhere which will have big tears from the nails which also would be very painful after some cms.
I wish you luck from the bottom of my heart but you should really have done external monorails on tibias, not femurs.
It would have been 10 times easier at least and without much risks, especially if you did LON to not risk any misalignment which is very usual with monorails.
For any other who thinks about external femurs to reduce cost, external devices are only for tibias. Period.
Keep strong.

Thanks Bodybuilder. Unfortunately I had to learn this the hard way. If I knew the pain levels and the discomfort of externals on my femurs going in I would have never done it but whats done is done and I will aim for a proper recovery.
