Chances of a good recovery with the best options

Edit Post

Hi guys,

I've been lurking on this website for around a year and have read many diaries and am fully aware of how dangerous this operation is. It seems to me however that there is a higher complication rate in those who go to third world countries and use bad doctors. Reading the thread called "compendium of outcomes" kind of scared me a little but my question to you guys is what do you think the chances are of a good recovery with the most ideal and safe options? These include being relatively young (mid 20's), going to a reputable doctor (specifically paley), being in excellent physical condition before hand, and lengthening a maximum of 5-6cm (internal femurs). I know that getting back to 100% of your old self is virtually impossible so what i mean by a "good recovery" is being able to run, go on hikes, go on bike rides and workout at the gym. I should also add that this is all hypothetical because I am 19 and wouldn't be getting this surgery for 5-6 years. Thanks in advance!

Thanks android. I was under the impression that was the case but just wanted to get some more opinions. Hopefully by then the synoste/ unyte nail will be available...

Hi puru,

I have been following your diary and I have to say it seems like so far you've had a great recovery and I'm very happy for you. I hope one day my journey can be similar and that you are able to continue to make fast progress in your recovery
