9 centimeters on tibias with Dr. Barinov, Volgograd-Russia

Edit Post

I know that we don't know each other and that I am a new user here but i read your diary following your updates.
I think your diary is an example of how "patients experiences" should be written:you provided Xrays,pics,videos and also scar-pics.
Not how some "patients" do here:writing long essays without anywhat else and expecting to be trusted.
I would like to thank you RGKEY for sharing your genuine experience.
I'm sorry that after 5 years you're still in crutches.I hope that the stimulating machine+bone growth will work and you will be soon recovered.I know that is not much but I will ask to my priest to pray for you.
Stay strong !

Some people can take 9 with no complications others only 5. The doctor is the only one who should decide.

I dont agree that 9 is not too much or too litle. Even for femurs that is a big amount let alone for tibia and since considering you need more time to consiladate tibias 9 cm will take much longer. That is a issue with a lot of russian doctors that permit patients to lengthen giant amounts.

Hi RGKEY,

Hey mate I have read your diary by pure chance and I am sad  to know your doctor neglected you that way. I admire your bravery to come out and say the truth about someone who you initially trusted so much . Mate   happens in this surgery and I know you try to lengthen quite a bit however your doctor should have advised carefully every move. All in all you are on the right track and soon this all will be just a bad dream.

All the best my friend!

Im about 3 months post surgery and no bone growth at all, none union of the bone.

Hi RGKEy, sorry to hear you are having issues with the new surgery. I'm really hoping your docs resolve your problems, and you get well soon. 

I just re-read most of your diary because I thought I missed something, but I'm a little confused. If you don't mind, can you update a few more details to clarify some of what happened?

1. Where and when did you have surgery? If in Russia, how did you resolve visa issues? (thought you had a 5 year restriction from entering the country).

2. By the looks of it, you only needed correction surgery. This is something that Barinov does all the time with the Russian female patients, but he still puts them in external frames. How come he used what looks like a "metal plate" to try and solve your misalignment? 

3. By the looks of your x-ray, the new gap created wasn't that big. Why would they need to use "cadaver bone or any type of bone graft" to close such a small gap? Was there something that suggested your bone will not regenerate on its own?

4. About your lifestyle, have you been taking NSAIDs/painkillers daily? Have you been smoking? Have you switched to an extreme diet (vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, etc.).

If you'd rather not answer these questions for privacy, I understand.

Thank you, and wish you a quick recovery.

1) I had the surgery in Czech republic
2) he did plates because of timing, i was told i could be walking faster!! Lie....
3)they put a synthetic bone, he shouldve just leave it alone or if he was gonna put anything he shouldve used my own bone. Not artificial
4)no pain killers, no smoking, no change in diet...same old...
