How Halil Buldu and his live life taller/crippled company crippled me

Edit Post

Also, I forgot to mention, he blocked me in whatsapp which explains why more of the people he cripples don't speak up, he would just refuse them treatment so most people just stay quiet and put up with his incompetence passively to not anger him. I am lucky that I can pay another surgeon but most people who go to him can't, that's why they go to him

So imagine a situation where he tore a muscle, gave you infection, left a lose screw, caused non-union, etc and you have to go back to turkey to see if he fixes it. Well you can't post your story online because it would anger him and he would refuse treatment. If he does fix your issue, you're scared that you might need him 3-5 years down the line so you still don't post your story. This is one of the main reasons why stories like this aren't coming out every day. I know for a fact I'm not the only person he butchered but I'll let others speak for themselves if they ever have the guts. Also it's not true he has lengthened over 4k patients, he just says that number but where's the proof? He started with a turkish group of limblengthening surgeons that butchered too many people so it broke away a few years ago. He has no real training in osteotomies other than experimenting with people. Look at his credentials, zero training in osteonomies, the most he did was a deformity correction in 2020 and then he went on to start his own limb lengthening business, how could he have done over 4000 limb lengthening cases since then? But look for yourself, the butcher posted it publicly https://www.livelifetaller.com/en/k/dr-halil-buldu-hakkinda--4

He has a lot of patients from asia and those patients struggle to heal, that is, they get non-union, different diet I imagine but idk. So the question is why does he keep taking patients who he knows won't heal? Why doesn't he ask them to distract slower at the very least? Because of money, he cannot resist turning down a patient who is not a good candidate because of money. And so he has tons of people who suffer from non-union, tons of people whose muscles he tore, tons of people with infections he can't heal and tons of people with issues he can't even diagnose.

I’m so sorry this happened to you. Don’t give up on hearing your bone/ soft tissue. There are incredible surgeons out there and the body is very resilient. I’d do a ton of research on good surgeons, I think you can improve. Good luck brother!

Thanks, I think you're right. Originally I thought shrinking the IT band was impossible because he told me so but I'll be consulting different doctors to see what they say. I did consult an american doctor when I had an infection and he turned me away which is why I ended up going back to turkey but there has to be some surgeons in america who will look at my case

I'm gonna consult a few different surgeons and see what they say. It is not normal for a surgeon to overly release your IT band with an infection so you can imagine this is a pretty rare case.

He's famous because of his social media campaign but yeah he's as bad as it gets. Like I said, half of his patients get infections that's why he gives out "insurance." It's not insurance, it's just that he gives half of his patients infections and to keep them quiet he offers to fix it. You can see his "insurance" as "look we know you'll probably get an infection but we'll fix it, please don't post about it online." But of course, he doesn't run any tests to check what type of infection it is if any, he just gives you antibiotics and sends you away. I'm not the only person he doesn't answer to by the way, he ghostes everyone.

Again, he operated on me with an infection and waited for puss to come out to pay me any attention, he left 1/4 of my bone with no bone and tore an important band, to top it all off he left a lose screw which caused a great deal of inflammation on me and was rude when I went to turkey so he could fix it. Now that I went back to turkey again to get his opinion on my leg that isn't healing and I have pain on, he was extremely rude again and insulting, not even listening to me describe my issue before saying it's not his problem.

He operates on 3-5 people a day and drinks tons of coffee and redbull to stay awake(maybe he also takes drugs but I'm not sure of this). If you trust someone to be able to do perform surgeries when he's only awake because of coffee and redbull then you're a fool.

Are the patients at Golden hotel deliberately kept seperate from current patients? How many people who had been crippled do you estimate there are as a percentage of his patients?

Yes they are kept separate to not scare new patients but also because they want the space, hence why they make patients lengthen at 2mm

I estimate 50%, I stayed with another guy, we both had complications. Out of the people I know only one didn’t have complications. The guy I stayed with got some other desease from the metals and also a lose screw, he also had to fly back to turkey. I forgot the name of her desease but the metal the butcher halil put inside was causing inflamation, butcher halil didn’t have any approach to him other than replacing the metals even though he didn’t have infection. It’s the only thing he knows how to do, his so called insurance amounts to that, putting the frame back on your legs and replacing the recycled metal he used on you once it starts causing problems. So many people with permanent muscle issues. I am frankly a good case, there’s a lot worse than me. They don’t post because they’re embarrassed and scared

I be would like to add, the surgery is extremely painful. I’m not counting the people who choose to stop lengthening early or who just didn’t lengthen as people with complications.

I don’t want to talk about some of the cases because it’s not my case and I don’t want to give wrong information in case he tries suing and to respect other people’s privacy but I know many other cases where people has to stay in the golden hotel for longer than they lengthened

we need posts like these to make people aware and stay away from these kind of "doctors".
Thank you for speaking out and i wish everything goes well with you.
Reading your posts really gives me a bad taste about turkey...

It does make you wonder just how many people have had bad results not just with this surgeon and don't speak up due to fear. It is admirable to do this for other members of the forum.

Thanks and keep in mind I didn’t even get to the half of it. I merely wanted to write the surgical mistakes he did, there was a lot of other issues. I met a few people and there was no one who didn’t complain

Like I wrote above, at least 50% of people get infections and other complications. Butcher halil Buldu is famous throughout the world by other orthopedics because his patients end up going to orthopedics throughout the world to get fixed out. In my case I might not be able to get fixed up but I hope I can at least warn others.

Whoever bumps into this thread please feel free to post it elsewhere, old forums, etc so world spreads about this butcher
