Edit Post

Sorry to throw doubt on the authenticity of the thread, but 4-6 months in frames is virtually unheard of, I was in the top 5% of consolidation rates and even then it was over 7 months for me. Also, Russia (the major cities) is nowhere near as cheap as people in the West tend to believe it is, at least not to the extent described here(entering as an American with Western standards).
I have no idea what the OP's personal life entails (although having gone through the process, I know it's not much), but it's curious that his first and last posts were made within a span of just of 12 hours.

GonnabeGreek, I apologize if this thread is legit, but the pessimist in me is wondering why, in addition to the aforementioned, the only poster we've had from the Solomin team in the last few years (the last being Badwolf who last we heard was walking on crutches 13 months postop in addition to having undergone a bone graft) just so happens to have Kryptonian bone consolidation and after just 6 weeks has been told to nearly double his lengthening rate to 1.75mm/day.
*Sorry again if I'm wrong

I just re-read Lumiere s diary, he had one of the best possible consolidation and were 7 months for 5 cm ( 6.5 -1.5) and even in his case the rate of lengthening never was above .75 mm. You lengthened at 1.75 mm and you will be 5 months in frames for 7 cm, very strange.

under 6k? 7cm? 6 months only?  Why not inject krokodil into your tibia and save yourself the immense realization of how fked wheel chair life is bro.

wat is the name of Commercial Products of krokodil drug for use after surgery?

As much as I like to believe this it strikes ne as fishy, this dude never updated this and plus his recovery was easy?, on top of all that I contacted Kulesh and he said anything over 8cm on tibia is dangerous yet this guy claims Kulesh said no problem to 10cm!

How can i contact Dr Kulesh?

No x-rays, pics or vids. Plus claiming to having lengthened at 181cm.

Does anyone know if Kulesh really has absolutely no maximum height with regards to the people he operates on?

For comparison: the Ilizarov center in Russia doesn't allow for men over 160cm, and Dr. Birkholtz generally doesn't allow anyone over 165cm. Rozbruch himself has never performed CLL on a person taller than 175cm.

Reminds me of an interesting paper I read recently, Cosmetic limb lengthening in a patient of normal stature: ethical considerations. On one hand he's 5'7" (170 cm) which is a good height in India, and his parents weren't informed; on the other he's 23 (i.e. independent), and refusing surgery has a different set of ethical questions since that decision is also subjective one, much like the patient's own.

A pretty good height: actually above average in India. Like 6 feet for white dudes in the US. The average is 5'10, but 6ft is not actually uncommon, and even seems the norm in some places, specially if you have height neurosis.

Well, just going by the data I've seen, anyway, where average height for men in India has remained 5-10cm shorter than in Japan over the last decades (and hasn't changed in a century).

Thank you for link, Android. It seems very interesting. I'll give it a read.
