can somebody prove it? Everyone make mistakes and errors, I can understand the risk it,even Dr paley made mistakes. If you wanna increase the statue, always will be the the risk
Quote from: realpatient on August 01, 2017, 09:27:27 PMI wouldn't recommend to choose this doctor. You could stay in a wheelchair for years and get misaligned limbs for life as some patients. Read about Cooper, Musicmaker, the teenage patient and many others.
In fact you could die, just as some patients of Dr. Paley and Dr. Guichet!
But let's look at real patients like Musicmaker and Unicorn as both represent a bad case indeed and the biggest but still realistic risk:
-bone can break (besides the cut the doctor made)
-non-union or malunion
Consequence of both does not have to be so bad, if you constantly pay attention to x-rays, and if there is even the smallest fracture resulting from the operation you stop the whole procedure until bone completely healed and if there is the slightest sign on non-union or malunion you stop lengthening.
But both is very unlikely to happen. For example, I have met personally around 12-14 patients of Dr. Monegal, 6 of which are my friends, and everyone is happy except one who is not sure if the gain was worth the pain and Musicmaker, who just had a lot of factors combine, so that she is still on her path for 100% recovery.

Do you have some informations about died patients ?
I know that Guichet left France because he some accidents / trials and actually nobody is making LL in France (it's probably one of the reason)
But we can say it was his early years
That's bull . Where did you learn Dr Guichet or Dr Paley patients died? Your doctor lies to discredit his rivals.
He said in fact you could die as in with complications that can happen with any doctor.

Nah, he said that some patients of them died. But that's not important. The major risk is still being unable to walk again.

real risk it happened to some people in the forum

It is not bs. Indeed one of Guichet patients died from thromboembolism as I know too.
I don't know anything about Paley's patient though.
But death from embolism is a risk from LL, especially with internals. Not big but still it can happen and it has more chances than being unable to walk again after LL.
It is another thing to limp or walk slow etc and another thing to been unable to walk. This can happen only due to major nerve damage or infection that causes ambutation, both of which are very rare especially for experienced doctors in good hospitals.
But thromboembolism can happen even with the best doctors and yes, it can be lethal.
Embolism can happen with anybody and it's often lethal but not barely walking is also a reality among some of these patients due to nerve damage and other factors
It's seldom to occur severe problems with LL done by expert doctors. They're many doctor who need to atone and enhance their techniques.
