Best surgeons for 5cm tibias on a budget?

So what's the next best thing if you don't mind me asking? PRECICE? And how much does it cost

There is a 1% chance your growth plates are still open at 19. And if they are, why are you on this forum? You should be getting on HGH asap. C'mon sir.

After conversion those come out to $28,000 - $40,000.  I think TSF is overkill for a cosmetic patient going in with healthy legs.  Your results would be just as good in Russia or India with the old Ilizarovs.

Not if you include rent, food, all other extra costs. It would be smarter to just save up for internals and go back home. I know that is what i would have done if I were to go back in time.

Dr. Halil Buldu offers LON method on tibias for 15,000€. And other doctors in Turkey like Metin KUCUKKAYA does LON for approximately 18.000€, I think? I believe some indian doctors are also capable and offer CLL surgery for a reasonable price. Overall LON is the best option under your budget. Of course it’s just my opinion. You can always save up and wait for a few years to do Stryde.
