Yeah but recovery will be alot longer and complications as well. People doing internal femur with paley have had serious complications with those amounts. What makes you think that you will avoid it.

I'm doing my tibia's, I don't know how similar femurs are in terms of complications? The doctor said we will start with 15% of the initial bone size and go from there. My tibia's are 14.75 inches long, so that would be 5.6 cm of lengthening. He did say we can go past 20% considering my age and good health but there are more risks of complications after lengthening past 20% of the initial bone size. He wasn't specific about the complications and I haven't done much research yet. Feel free to share some of the possible complications.
Possible complications are delayed consolidation, non-union, deep bone infection with LON.
Mate I'm exactly the same height as you but my wingspan is 175cm. I've been thinking of doing my tibias for a while now and I've come across Dr Solomin, so I'd been keen to buddy up and get it done together...

That would be cool! When are you planning to get yours done?

I'm thinking it would be nice to get it done as soon as I can. But it's hard because I have me own business so it's just trying to figure out how I can still do everything while I'm recovering. What about you?

May I ask what's your business about?
Cheers.

Small world, I also own a small business... I have family helping to mange it luckily, plus I will be doing a lot on the computer from Russia.
Side note: I found out that as a foreigner you can stay in the St Elizabeth hospital instead of the international clinic. This might be optimal for those with a tight budget like my self, considering it's less than half the price of the international clinic. There are some major draw backs though. There would be a huge language barrier with staff at the hospital unless you speak Russian of course. I'm sure one might be able to manage with google translate or even hiring a translator. You can just call the translator when ever you want to ask the staff a question something and vice versa. I asked the doctor if we can still pay for visa support without actually being a patient at the international clinic and he said no ... but I asked if we are able to fill out our own visa applications and use him as the sponsor and he said that would be fine ...
I'm ready to go, I've never felt so excited and scared about something is my life. I just need to apply for my visa, so hopefully that doesn't take too long to get accepted after I submit it.
Sounds like we're all ready to go! I'm glad you checked out the hospital and visa too. How much will it cost us? and how long away from home will we be? I'm Australian by the way! haha.
I know what your feeling - I get these moments like fk it get it done1! and how things would be after getting it done. It would be a massive game changer!
