Calic - External Tibias - Dr. Sarin - 2013 - My LL Experience

Edit Post

So that was a mistake *during* the operation? I don't think infections can occur with internal methods after the operation.

That sort of infections sounds very serious. Do you if he' going to be okay? What country is he being treated in, to treat the infection? Pathetic that there's no mention of this on the other website.

Well I hope the guy is ok. 

Is there any way for him to come here and tell his tale? 

Edit Post

I am not sure of how or when the infection started. He is being treated in the US and should be okay.

He always had a strong dislike for old forum  and never wanted to post anything about his situation. I doubt he would have any interest in coming here and probably just wants to be done with anything related to LL and move on with his life.

I agree with you.

Like Sweden said, the guy was sick from the beginning. if i remeber right, he was not 100% healthy before he did his internal LL. I think he had issues from the external LL that he was also doing at the same time. I dont think he was the right patient for a nail that was  having its first reputation in the spot light.

Its hard to issolate the issues of the nail and the patient in this case.

How are things going since your last update?  All the best!

I am back home from the guest house, I came home about a week ago. The initial reaction from my parents and brother was that I was skinnier, they did not notice the height gain first. I have not left the house to meet anyone else I know yet so I will update on reactions from other people later.

The biggest obstacle for me right now is ankle pain and tightness of the shins like shin splints back when I ran track in high school. This only occurs after doing a significant amount of walking. When I wake up in the morning my feet are flat but I feel a lot of tightness for a few minutes but then I am normal. I can walk long distances without too much. I will post a video of me walking later.

Shockingly I measured my morning height at 179.7 cm (5'10.75") and my night time height before going to bed to be 177.2 cm (5'9.75") so my height goes down an inch throughout the day. I now weigh 68 kg (150 pounds).

X-rays were taken on October 25th, about 3 months after frame removal. I wanted to get a length estimate on the lateral view but was told my callus was too filled in to get an accurate measurement. I was curious to know the amount I lengthened but I was able to hit 5’10” so I am happy and it is not really important to me. I will just say I lengthened 6.5 cm because that is what Dr. Sarin told me before frame removal.

Sounds like you're doing great!  All your symptoms are the same as I had but a little less severe.  I think you'll make an excellent recovery over the coming months/years.  Your legs look awesome too.  If anything they looked short before and now they look normal.

So, what is your opinion of "Bad Doctor" now that you're out of India and not supposedly being threatened by him anymore?   I hope this exposes Apotheosis aka SysOp's true motives for what he says about Dr. Sarin.

Thanks, I feel like I will be making a swift recovery.

My opinion is that he genuinely cares for his patients and is fair about everything. He was always nice and respectful towards me. If I ever decide to do my femurs I will probably go back to him to have them done.

You look so much better mate.

You legs before LL were way too short for ur upper body.
