So I contact dr. barinov and told him about my left leg. He answered and said that he will fix it, and I can come to the clinic at any time. So at least it will be fixed!)). Maybe Ill come in 2 months, i can not leave for so long my job. Maybe what Ill do is have the surgery and correction and come back home for consolidation, I sent to him and email on this regards, so will see what happens.

Good news indeed!  It must have taken a huge weight off your shoulders!

Not sure if you've already stated but did the bowleg happen when you were still in Russia or did it happen once you got back home?
Was it there when the frames were still on?

hey RgKey im happy for you about the good news that you will get your bowed leg fixed.

Just a question for you, my only fear left of this LL process, is that they might remove my frames before they are hard enough, so that i might lose some of my height gain after i remove them. They tell me that i might lose one mm or 2 at most but i shouldnt lose anything. However they also tell me that im not allowed to do heavy lifting where i put to much pressure on the legs for a long time after frame removal (they werent specific but it sounded like i should avoid it for almost a year  ), so that implies that enough pressure at that point would still be able to compress the legs and lose height.

Im just worried about what i should be able to do after frame removal and how careful i need to be and for how long. Im sure they will tell me this but im not sure anything can be completely trustworthy because its so individual i guess. I suppose i should not jump and not run for at least a few months after frame removal, but im almost considering keeping the frames for longer in that case so i dont have to constantly worry about losing height.

I know your doctor told you that you need to use the crutches for a while after frame removal, what other instructions and restrictions did he give you? If the leg can get bowed from pressure like yours did then i assume to much pressure could also compress the bone, or am i wrong? Did the doctor warn you about the risk of subsidence/height loss?

Thank you for you help mate and good luck recovering!

I'm more worried about bow leg than height loss,in this case u just lengthen 0.4mm more, but with bow leg u have to do another surgery and have frames on again

But the height loss you get after frame removal, at that point it is to late to regain that height unless you want to break the bone again, and if you mean that you lengthen 0.4 cm extra before removing the frames to compensate for the loss..well the thing is im worried if there is a risk of losing more if you put to much pressure on the legs, some studies have reported bigger losses than a few mm, and even though they where unreliable you cant be sure enough when there is so much at stake.
