A New Journey: Femurs with Dr Mahboubian

Edit Post

Hi,
Sorry didn’t post in a while. Got busy with the daily routine. And was in lot of pain the first couple of weeks. I didn’t have much motivation to post.
It’s Day 25 today, since my surgery and I’ve lengthened over 1.5 mm as per ERC.
I had a lot of pain in my right leg which I believe was  nerve pain. I was prescribed Gabapentin. Pain is not bad now but there is a sharp pain above the knee on the inside when I turn and move. Left leg seems to alright, no pain or whatsoever.

I got my post op xrays and I have a concern regarding the osteotomy. It looks like my bones are mis aligned after the osteotomy. I’m worried if this is something to worry. I have seen all of M’s rays before and all of them seem to be nicely aligned. It’s sad to see mine like this. Anyways just wanted to know if this is something to be worried of.
Here are the X-rays

Hi F3,

I know from the x-ray you must be worried, however I am very hopeful this is something Dr. M. can resolve. You may experience more pain during the process that he would use to fix the issue, but I am confident you will finally have your normal legs back.   

Best Wishes,
SNC

Mahboubian assured that there is no misalignment and said regardless, any misalignment will be corrected during lengthening. I guess I just have to take him for his word.
Also, The front view doesn’t look bad but it’s the side view which looks a bit misaligned. May be it’s not that bad. I don’t know.

Very glad to hear.....hope you are feeling less worried.
How have you been feeling otherwise? Recovery going well??

Ohhh the right femur has the alignment a bit more forward the upper part of the bone, I thought it was regular x ray from the front of the thigh. If the bone missaligns a bit forward I don't think causes significant differences/issues. xray on the right leg looks decent, not great, but decent, left leg is good no worries on that one.
