Warning for those who want to go to Turkey for LL lengthening

Edit Post

I contacted with several in Turkey ( AFA and Livelifetaller, yuksel yurtras). I asked them about LON method with monolateral frames and all of them told me no problem Even I was 90 kg I could walk from second Say after operation. Then I contacted Dr Paley and Richard Luzzi and they told me that monolateral frames with a titanium nail (LON) only can support up to 60 kg, after That there is a risk of loose of half pins and can cause a severe valgus deformity. So there is the proof that some Docs don't give a fu++ about your health and only are hungry of money. I almost went there so be careful.

You put all your Weight during distraction? Or only during consolidation? I read in some Google reviews Many complains about Buldu

Imagine me, I am 83 and they say I could walk 2 days after surgery. That is real with pure external Ilizarov fixator but for LON just no
