LON Tibia with Dr Yukksel Yurttas

Edit Post

Out of curiosity, how old are you and why did you decide to do the LON method?

Good luck on your journey!

I'm wondering how he will put the nail if your bone is not suitable for it at the first place?
Weird.. I hope you would not end up as like the guy in the youtube who broke his bone, his doctor was also DrYuksel.. Be careful..

A even smaller nail than previous patients. He said my bone canal was even smaller than his other patients

To be clear, I currently have monorail fixators without an internal nail.

It might not be a necesarrily bad thing as we all know stryde nail patients have had difficulties in bone healing because of full weight bearing. Dr. Assayag says bone needs to feel the force. But you should defintely be really careful after the fixator removal. Can you share your xrays with us?

How much is Yuksel charging, if I may ask

Seems like a lot of Turkey related diaries at the moment.

He's probably crippled for his whole life. He cannot walk, even 5 weeks after the surgery. No fixation of fibula bones which will cause severe arthritis later in life. He has severe ballerina foot which is very hard to fix. He also suffered from pinsite infection. LON is the worst method you can do since you connect the outer world with your bone marrow.

At 1:02 you can hear his desperation.

OMG  Looks brutal. How did he end up in this position ? What kind of complications ?

He also did maxillary advancement surgery: https://youtu.be/AM0EbtU5n84

But it failed, as well. So he reported it as a scam: https://youtu.be/PEw0JIiFjwc

He's planning to go home on the 29th
