Dr Alex Monegal (Barcelona, Spain) Clinica Diagonal

Edit Post

Very nearly.
And yes it's,as I said above (1-+1)
and to be honest I also think that white swedes are much taller than the foreigners in sweden, and therefore they are driving the average height down.

Yes he is free, never said he was caught by someone tho.

Your opinions are fine, and about your limb lengthen diary who I have read several times, is very good and a lot of informationto bring,
but I would rather call it more dangerous and risky than a guy who is 6'3 going to Paley and are doing 2+2 on femur and tibia for like 200K

About the cons&pros its seems 50/50.

This discussion might be in the wrong thread, this has nothing to do with Dr. Monegal and his clinic

yeah I also wanted to say that but forgot

Musicmaker, I've been reading this thread for a while. I'm considering doing LL in Spain (perhaps) and you're my role model, so positive and helpful. Don't be discouraged by negative people like Heightangel. He's a real badass.

I know you don't want to post your X-rays because of privacy, but tell me how many cm you got on your first leg. It must be fully consolidated right now. Are you walking unaided? Are you doing your second leg now?

Thank you very much for your help and regards

Dr Monegal I am not sure if I am understanding you correctly but it seems you are saying that fitbone does not cause axial deviation when lengthening the femur?

I'm also thinking about doing this in Barcelona with Dr. Monegal. Definitely going for a consultation and then we see.

I hope Musicmaker is doing great with Fitbone

DrMonegal I want to do LL and go back to work as soon as possible. How  many months should I require? Thanks for your time!

Dear Spaller

It depends on the type of work you are performing.
For a person working at an office they can deal with the procedure and walk on crutches to their jobs after 3-4 weeks.

As an example, i have a patient who works as a computer programmer who Was out of office 3 weeks for the first Limb, and 16 days for limb 2.

Surgery 2 Took place 3.5 months after surgery 1 for a bilateral 6 cm lengthening.
He is Currently working and lengthening (1 cm to final target).

Other type of jobs (more physical) require full recovery of the ability to walk unaided.

Kind regards

Thank you doctor for your answers. You're very kind.
Musicmaker, are you this patient or a different one? Could you (also) go back to work in 3-4 weeks?

i have decided to do surgery with Dr. Monegal. I have constulation 1 june and probably will be doing my surgery the same day.

Internal femurs + arm lengthening is my prefered situation right now.
