One thing I still didn´t understand. Does the new Jamal nail needs to impant a cliker together with the nail, like biliskunov nail, or the new nail works without a clicker like Albizzia?
U need a clicker.
The main difference is that apparently the new nail avoids accidental clicks.
I have read some diaries on old forum and it seems that he is a good and affordable Doctor. Tell me what you think guys.
I am not impressed by Emmanuel's walking video almost a year post surgery date.
internal femur patients who lengthen less than 8cm should be recovered and walking without a limp after 10 months. I was disappointed to the point where I would rather stay short until a better nail comes up at an affordable price.

I was walking ecxactly like him 6-7months after lengthening surgery with internal nails. I am sure in 2 months he will be much better.

How long ago was your surgery date?
Thanks for your information.

No reason to be disappointed 
The truth is that most patients who write a diary only then show a walking video, when their walking is fine. That gives a false impression of the reality of LL.
In PM's/emails/skype conversations with patients of different doctors I have heard of complications that you will not find in the corresponding diarys. People don't like to write about the bad things for various reasons.
I have decided to show a video of an earlier stage, but I am sure that in a few months my walking will be much more close to normal (already now it is better than on the video from 2 weeks ago). Basically only my muscles in the hip area need to recover for a normal walking, the rest is fine. I lengthened almost 8cm and stayed in wheelchair 4 months, do you expect that I am running marathon by now? 
Also much more relevant than first surgery date is the date when you stopped lengthening.

Did you stay 4 months on wheel-chair? I thought you were using walkers or crutches during the lenghtening time...
Your walk is ecxactly like mine was 6-7months after LL surgery, from this point it takes 2 months to get normal... It is just the hip muscles that are not strong enough... Good luck for you. I am thinking about doing tibias with Dr. Jamal, just waiting for the right moment.

Thanks. And it's good to hear that it all worked out well for you!
Here is what the Drs from Kiev wrote me after they saw my walking video:
"Your recovery is in normal limits. Stereotype walk at a good level. You're a little wobble when walking. But it will pass after a complete muscle recovery (pelvic tier restored always later)."
