BEST CLINIC FOR LIMB LENGTHENING IN 2023?

Quote from: Maison on July 13, 2023, 11:48:52 AMMonorail on tibia is prone to knockknee and other misalignment, and if it happens, it's difficult to fix, so do you consider it a red flag?
Does AFA perform circle tibial surgery?

Of course monorail on tibia is a red flag as I said.

AFA only uses full ilizarov frame on tibias.

My legs weren't skinny. I was never told I have skinny legs, just my bones are very small. My weight etc was always healthy. But now after 90 days of this surgery, my legs have indeed become very skinny.

Since it's important, let me confirm this once again.
Did your doctor mention that he wouldn't use the monorail due to issues with misalignment?

Wow thank you all so much for the input and the discussion this is helpng me a lot. Yes I am thinking Turkey because I only have so much money. Actually at the moment I don't have any, but I know our family will be selling properly we have in another country and I should be getting about $50k from it. I also have been saving so I should have $60-$70k by the time I'm ready to do this surgery.

I def want it to be safe. I wish I could do it in America but it's just too darn expensive here. (~$150k)

Will be looking into the Greek doctor, never heard of him before.
Part of me just wants to take a leap of faith knowing full well what the complications could be...

Another way I'm thinking of maximizing the safety of this procedure is doing everything that is in my control given my finances. For example I think I will only do 5cm on my femurs first, then after a year or more come back and do 5cm of tibias. This way I won't push my body too hard at once and will give it plenty of time to recover.

Would appreciate any other insight or tips from you all. Thank you all so much.

im currently doing my femurs at AFA in turkey. So far the experience isn't bad, just very bored most of the time. the surgery went well, but i woke up with a scar on my lip for some reason. A week after the surgery the pain went away, and its just therapy with intense stretching sessions mon-friday, and you can pay for weekend sessions if you want/need them. im currently 2cm in, and my goal is 6cm.

User580. Can you please prove it with some screenshots of x-rays? They're so many fake accounts nowadays on this forum. Also are doing LON or precice?

Can you talk about price?

His account is properly fake since he didn't send any proof with x-rays as I requested. This isn't the first time we have seen turkish clinics being unethical by making fake accounts as marketing... He has only posted that one comment...
