Dr Mangal Parihar (Mumbai India)- Mangal Anand Hospital

Edit Post

Does Dr. Parihar do rebreaks of bones?

Ex: what if I lengthened just 1-2cm on tibias with another doctor (considering doing gnail 7cm on femur then 2 cm on tibia with precise 2 back to back with only 1 month rest in between, might be enough lengthening tbh but want the option to rebreak the tibias later if want more length). Purpose of back to back: get that precise 2 nail before prices increase from inflation

Or at that point, would it be cheaper just for me to do rebreak of the tibia bones in the USA with a local leg lengthening doctor? (there are two who are within a few hour s driving distance of my place)?

for a year only. if there was a recent HSS affiliation at some peer reviewed case study perhaps this statement would hold some weight at assessing the pearls of Mangal's surgical techniques. I'd project that at 2022 it takes around 15 years at an elite community to refine surgical technique to become an expert and approximately 30 without these resources. You would keep this in mind while selecting a surgeon in general

Where can I contact this Dr?

Video was made 4 months ago. He's still offering internal lengthening with Precice nails.

Hi, im new here.

Im interested in LON method on tibia but think im not the right candidate and also ive heard there is some risks to have prolonged knee pain.

Anyways from what i understand in my case the right option is to have external fixator that, from what ive read in the past, has to be on your legs for the whole process until you can walk fully.

But recently i saw in a interview with indian surgeon Dr. Mangal Parihar he said that they now can use "locked plates" that they can do the lengthening with a fixator but then put a plate on so that the patient doesnt have to have the fixator for a long time.

Does anybody have experince/knowledge about this? Thanks.

It's an alternative to putting in a nail to decrease the time in an external fixator. As I understand it, it's not as stable as LON and results in more incisions being made, but I may be wrong. Dr Birkholtz offers that as an option too, last I checked.

Stumbled upon this old post on the forum. Attached below, we have straight from the godfather of modern limb lengthening, Dr Dror Paley, that Dr Parihar is a very good doctor. And Paley doesn't blindly support all docs who have studied with him or at one of his facilities, as we've seen him trash a doc associated with him before.

(The part about Stryde didn't age well though lol)

Kilo, how are you doing these days? How'd you describe the current condition of your legs? Do they still bother you? How's your gait and pace of walking?

Hey! I'm new to this forum and I'm considering limb lengthening surgery in India, I saw about doctor amar sarin and then came to find out about his disasters. I found about doctor Mangal Parihar in this forum, and I'd like to know something.

1.Does he offer cosmetic limb lengthening surgery with LON external fixator (ilizarov apparatus)?

2. Does he have any package like the others, which includes stay, medicines, physiotherapy, food, x ray, walking aids, etc?

3.how can I get in touch with him and get this done?
