A few questions about LL

Edit Post

How did you do the editing? Did you put the skates again or lengthened both femurs and tibias?

Thanks for the replies, about the sciolosis, I showed a Friend and his Cousin has it and he says I don't look anything near to him, but idk. Showed my mum too, she said it doesn't look like it but maybe I have bad posture, cus I game a lot.

I know I'll never be the same athletic wise but tbh, I rather be tall than sporty. I feel really insecure walking around when 70% who pass me are about 6 foot. And I'm here being 5'7. If only a few people would make me insecure, the 6ft ones I wouldn't mind, but this is a constant reminder of how short I am. (I know there are shorter people but being under 5'8-9 is considered short where I'm from, in fact, even 5'11 is a little short.", but imo, it will boost up my confidence by light years.

And the editing was done again by putting on the roller skates and moving my tibia up a little, my knee down and my femur down. Thank you guys.

Also guys, who's the best LL doctor? That patients who've made diaries have had good recoveries?

And if possible, can I have 3-5 good doctor names and the average cost of their surgeries.

Thank you

Best leg lengthening doctor is a very subjective topic. What could be great for one could be horrible for another. Be careful of diaries, too. It shows one point of view, but there's many instances where people could have left things out intentionally or unintentionally, and it could lead to making a decision in doctor that you later regret. Even having personal consultations to make a decision doesn't work out all the time, as a medical doctor could sound completely confident and a person without specialty training in the Ilizarov method would be none the wiser if they were speaking bs.

If in the US, Dr Paley and Dr Rozbruch are the top two names, although Dr Conway in Baltimore would be another doctor I'd look into because she did her training with Dr Paley and Dr Herzenberg (Herzenberg is another big name but all cosmetic cases are done by Dr Conway and Herzenberg does strictly injuries/deformities).

Europe seems to be a total crapshoot as of now. Betz and Guichet were the top two names, but as time went on more patients from both of them came out and said some very damning things about them. Same with Dr Monegal, having both supporters and detractors. Drs Pili and Catagni seem like they could potentially be good options. I haven't heard any bad things as of yet about their services, though I remember in the old forum prior patients of Catagni said that the way his frames are installed makes wearing them a nightmare.

If you're okay with going to India, Dr Parihar is the only doctor who hasn't had any major complaints brought against him. All other doctors, even the ones with impressive credentials have seemed to have so-so to disastrous results. Well, maybe Dr Dhawan might be another good choice. I haven't been able to gauge whether his prior patients would recommend him or not.

If you're okay with going to South Africa, Dr Birkholtz seems like he'd be a good bet and a prior patient of his had good things to say.

Just watched the qualifiers for 100m in the 1988 Olympics. The winning times that I saw were 9.99, 10.12, 10.16 (x2) & 10.24. Your time would probably have put you in the top 3 in each of them, & won the last one.

So, either you have a serious chance at a career as a professional sprinter, & would be crazy to break your legs-- or you are just full of crap. I think it's probably the latter.
