I have a consultation with Catagni on the 29th of february.
I will update you guys on what went on there and if I will do the surgery it will probably be in the end of august or september. I intend to write a diary.

Both
Quote from: yagen on February 05, 2016, 11:24:12 AMIts a great choice!!!! A patient experience its the best way to know a Doctor.
What kind of method are you going to do?
I will follow your diary.
If I will go with him, it will be using the Ilizarov technique for my tibias. He said during a phone conversation that aesthetically tibias are much better than femurs
Quote from: Peaceout on February 06, 2016, 12:11:13 PMFirstly,good luck! I will read your diary.
And for method,isnt it easier to hide if you do femurs?I mean your clothes will always hide your femurs,(even at the beach for example)and there will be scars with external tibias.
Don't we have longer femurs alredy?
Why to hide the scars? To people who never met me I will just say that I had a car accident or something. To people who know me I will tell them the truth

Send an e-mail to him. He is quiet responsive.

I will let you know after I have the consultation
Quote from: crimsontide on February 11, 2016, 07:33:08 PMachilles lengthening will weaken the tendon... its impossible that it wont
paley recommends against atl,and from my experience, paley is correct
it's just not possible that a tendon that is thinner and loner before will be as strong
From your scar it's obvious that your lengthening was done wrong.

it is not possible by the laws of mechanics
mine mightve been done wrong, but you can't change our physical laws
tendon after lengthening is ALWAYS longer and thinner
that can not be as strong... it's not possible
So are you muscles.. You stretch them and you stretch the tendon. I have seen videos of people who have undergone ATL and they move just fine. Depends on the lengthening of the tendon of course
Quote from: crimsontide on February 12, 2016, 01:13:36 AMatl is not the same as stretching
depending on the technique, you have less mass after atl... pieces are cut away
its not nearly the same
Atleast according to Catagni, all his cosmetic patients that have undergone ATL got back to full athletic ability. I will discuss this issue with him at the consultation though. After the consultation I will be much more informed. I got so many raccomendations about him from otehr docs here in Italy and from Israel (my home country).

J'écris en français car si je ne me trompe pas tu m'as dis que tu comprenais le français
si tu as prévu de faire l'opération avec un appareillage extérieur, comment vas-tu faire pour rentrer sachant que tu ne pourra pas conduire et que je ne suis pas sûr que les aéroports laissent passer ?
Je pense aussi faire cette opération chez Catagni, j'ai lu sur le journal de Lumière que la durée était approximativement de 8 mois. Je vais donc voir s'il est possible durant ces 8 mois de vivre dans un hôtel près de l'hôpital.
En tout cas je suis impatient de te suivre si tu fais l'opération. Si cela ce passe aussi bien que Lumiere, Catagni est définitivement très bon.
I am planning to stay in Lecco for the entire procedure until the frame's removal with my mom and renting an appartment. If you will do it together with me near the end of this year it will be better cause we will be two doing it haha
