⚠️Dark Side of Limb-Lengthening Surgery in Viet Nam Ho Chi Minh City Revealed

Today, I have finally gathered sufficient evidence regarding all related matters. As the patient’s friend, I feel compelled to speak up on her behalf and remind everyone to remain vigilant.

My friend is a Chinese female patient who underwent femur lengthening surgery on May 28, 2023, in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The surgeon was Dr. Đinh Văn Quỳnh. After surgery, she was placed in a rehabilitation center under the full management of Nguyễn Lâm Hiếu Thảo (commonly known as Thao).

However, Thao abused his authority by privately hiring relatives and acquaintances with no medical background to take charge of rehabilitation:

- Trần Thị Thuý Ngân (born 1987, Thao’s half-sister): Pretended to be a physical therapist and nurse, without any relevant knowledge or qualifications.

- Hân (Thao’s girlfriend): Pretended to be a nurse, with no nursing license.

- Nguyễn Lâm Hiếu Hạnh (born 1996, Thao’s brother): Pretended to be an assistant and therapist, with no medical qualifications whatsoever.

On May 28, 2023, the unlicensed Trần Thị Thuý Ngân forcefully bent my friend’s knee during a so-called “therapy session,” which directly caused a meniscus tear (supported by video and X-ray evidence). After the incident, Thao attempted to cover up for his relatives by:

- Concealing the truth and falsely claiming the patient “fell on her own.”

- Submitting fraudulent reports stating the examination was normal.

- Destroying rehabilitation records to erase evidence.

- Forcing the patient to continue painful, unlicensed leg-pressing exercises, in order to pocket the remaining rehab funds—pushing her into unbearable pain and emotional breakdown.

Fortunately, my friend was able to contact a trustworthy professional interpreter who assisted her throughout. With proper support, she was re-examined and diagnosed with a meniscus tear, and eventually received appropriate treatment. Her knee is now gradually recovering and stable.

⚠️ Important Warning:
- Thao has a long history of drug abuse, which has led to kidney failure requiring dialysis. He has developed the habit of using drugs at night and sleeping through the day, often switching off his phone for several days, leaving patients completely unable to reach him in emergencies. Although Thao has been officially dismissed by the institution, he continues to impersonate a medical provider, running an illegal organization called “BBbone”, deceiving and admitting new patients with the help of dishonest medical brokers.

➡️ At present, the number of victims is increasing, involving patients from Japan, France, the Philippines, Australia, China, and more, with the impact continuing to spread.

⚠️⚠️⚠️Everything I have stated is supported by solid evidence: authentic videos, X-ray scans, patient conversation records, as well as testimony from many victims and former patients. On both Chinese limb-lengthening forums and international platforms such as the LimbLengthening Forum, it has been confirmed that Ngân is indeed Thao’s half-sister. Moreover, anyone can check on official Vietnamese websites to verify that BBbone and Thao himself hold absolutely no legal medical qualifications.

🚨 As a close friend of the patient, I issue this solemn warning:
Anyone considering surgery in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam must exercise extreme caution to avoid becoming the next victim!

Official Statement from Nguyễn Lâm Hiếu Thảo

(B-Bone – Team of Dr. Đinh Văn Quỳnh, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam)

Hello everyone. My name is Thảo, representing B-Bone, part of Dr. Quỳnh’s professional limb-lengthening team in Ho Chi Minh City.
I am posting this message to clarify the truth and defend our reputation against deliberate defamation.

The author behind these malicious claims is Mr. Lâm Đức Chí, also known as Chris.
He is a former colleague who once worked with us in patient coordination. After our collaboration ended due to his lack of professional ability, repeated misconduct, and failure to handle patients properly, he began spreading false stories in a personal vendetta to destroy our reputation.


---

1. False “Evidence” About Meniscus Tear

The so-called “evidence” he posted is an X-ray, not an MRI.
Meniscus tears cannot be diagnosed on X-rays because the meniscus is cartilage and does not appear on radiographs. Only an MRI performed by a radiologist can confirm such an injury.
Mr. Chí’s claim shows a complete misunderstanding of basic medical knowledge and is entirely fabricated.


---

2. False Allegation of Patient Injury and Record Destruction

We challenge his claim that a patient was harmed and that we hid or destroyed any records.
If there is truly such a patient, we invite her to speak directly and publicly.
We are prepared for a face-to-face meeting between the patient, Mr. Chí, and our team to clarify everything transparently.

In reality, Mr. Chí abused his former access to illegally obtain copies of patient records, which he then distorted and manipulated to create false stories.
Like any medical treatment, limb-lengthening involves recovery challenges, but we always treat every patient to full recovery according to our insurance and care agreements.


---

3. Clarification Regarding Health Rumors

Mr. Lâm Đức Chí (Chris) has also spread the false claim that I am a drug addict and that this supposedly caused kidney failure requiring dialysis.
This accusation is completely false and malicious.

Yes, I have a kidney condition, but it is the result of a white blood cell (autoimmune) disorder, not drug use.
I possess official hospital medical records and doctor-verified documents to support this fact, which will be presented in court if necessary.

To exploit someone’s legitimate health issue and twist it into a drug-related rumor is not only defamatory but also inhumane and unethical.
It clearly exposes Mr. Chí’s true intention — to slander and destroy reputations, not to “warn patients.”


---

4. Coordinated Online Defamation

I have attached screenshots showing Mr. Lâm Đức Chí’s posts on his new brand’s social media accounts.
They are identical in content and language to the forum accusations, proving there is no real “friend” or independent patient — this is a coordinated and systematic smear campaign targeting B-Bone across multiple limb-lengthening communities.


---

5. Legal Action and Public Challenge

We now formally demand that Mr. Lâm Đức Chí (Chris):

Produce verifiable evidence and witnesses for his claims, or

Publicly retract his statements and remove all defamatory material.


If he fails to comply, we will pursue civil and criminal legal action for defamation, starting with a complaint to the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Court and Vietnamese cyber-crime authorities.
He will learn that social media defamation has real legal consequences.


---

We remain confident in our integrity and professionalism.
Anyone is welcome to visit our facility in Ho Chi Minh City, meet our real patients, and witness our operations transparently.
B-Bone stands for honesty, professionalism, and real medical results — not lies.

The link attached below contains verified information about Mr. Chris (Lâm Đức Chí) so that everyone can clearly recognize him and avoid being misled or scammed by someone pretending to represent our team.

Additionally, the recent post on Weibo from his newly created brand uses identical language, tone, and rumors that have been circulated before — which demonstrates that this is a coordinated smear campaign intended to damage our reputation.

We strongly advise the public and patients to verify all official communications directly through our verified channels to avoid misinformation.

hello,thao and cris
I am patient T
Im very sorry to hear this
I know you and you are good co-worker
cris always say hello to me politely
I wish calm down well this conflictin
Now Im in good shape,I retunred back normal life ,my both tibia and femur well conslidated
I want to report this both thao and cris by this writing

OMG, this is so true. I’m also one of the patients there, and I can personally confirm that the woman in the video named Ngân is actually Thao’s half-sister — many patients know her.

I’m not sure whether he’s using illegal drugs or not, but one thing I can say for sure is that after the surgery, it’s almost impossible to contact Thao directly. You can only reach out to Chris if you need help.

Honestly, the management under Thao is really bad. About Thao ignoring patients — this isn’t new. Some Japanese patients already posted about it on the forum back in 2024. If you don’t believe it, check this post:
👉 http://www.limblengtheningforum.com/index.php?topic=85131.0;prev_next=prev#new
👉 http://www.limblengtheningforum.com/index.php?topic=72953.msg224925#msg224925

For more, when I was there, I also knew a Japanese patient who had femur lengthening. He told me that no one provided physical therapy or even cared for him, which is why his legs ended up badly bent. In the end, Thao forced him to return to his country while still wearing the femur frame, and then completely ignored him afterward.

I can fully confirm everything in this post. I had my femur lengthening done by Thao, and it was a complete nightmare.
There were no real medical staff at all. His wife pretends to be a nurse, his brother (a food delivery guy) acts as a physiotherapist, and rehab simply didn't exist.
Completely unprofessional and dangerous.
You’ll almost never see the doctor. I only saw him twice, once during surgery and once when the fixators were removed. The rest of the time he was totally unreachable. If you have complications or pain, nobody qualified will help you.
I wasn’t even allowed to stand or walk, even though I chose the LON method, which is supposed to be weight-bearing.
They also never perform IT band release, even when you clearly need it and ask for it.
There is so much stuff that doesn’t work right there, but I’ll stop here. I don’t like talking about that experience, it’s behind me now. I’m only posting this to warn others before they get badly injured like so many patients did.

Hello Chris fake account 2 and Chris fake account 3,
Would you two mind kindly providing any proof at all for the nonsense you’ve been posting?

Mr. Xiao Wang, do you perhaps have even one single photo of this “supposed half-blood sister-in-law” you keep talking about — maybe standing next to me, or even wearing a BBone uniform? Didn’t think so.

Mr. Mordan, how about you? Any record of your “surgery with us”? Because we’ve clearly told every consultation patient that L.O.N femur frames are not for walking. Instead, we provide proper recovery exercises so that muscles and tendons stay trained safely during the lengthening phase. That’s how real professionals do it. But I guess medical accuracy doesn’t fit your rumor-spreading agenda.

You know what’s funny, Chris? Even patient T came here himself, talked with everyone, and confirmed he’s recovering perfectly fine — yet you’re still using his old 2019 diary to make up drama. That’s what happens when you have no new material and no achievements.

We’re offering a free survey trip for anyone genuinely interested — free visa, free transport, two days stay at the center, full documentation and licensing provided, and direct meetings with over 10 current recovering patients. You see, we show transparency. You show tantrums. Jealous much?

Maybe the frustration comes from the fact that no one trusts you — because your “career” peaked at trolling comment sections. But don’t worry, history always has room for people like you — right at the bottom, next to the rest of the garbage that couldn’t make it.

And since you like pretending to be smart — tell your “professional translator” self to at least learn the difference between an MRI and an X-ray, or between monorail frames and half-ring frames. You can’t even get the basics right, yet you talk like you invented orthopedics. The funniest part? You still need to switch off your phone after 10:00 PM because you’re “too tired” — yeah, that’s what a full-time translator life looks like, I guess.

Oh, and just so you know — I’m posting your face and exposing your lies on every single post you show up in. People deserve to see what kind of trash they’re dealing with. Even if someone still doubts it online, the moment they meet you in real life, they’ll know exactly who you are.

You’re a Chinese translator with broken English pretending to be multiple people. That’s why your fake accounts all sound like bots — stiff, unnatural, and desperate. You can’t even fake being human properly.

So go ahead, keep posting your nonsense. The more you talk, the more obvious it becomes who’s the fraud here. And trust me — people aren’t as stupid as you hope.

我是给胡志明Quynh医生做过增高手术的患者，我的遭遇和Mordans分享的几乎一模一样。我在患者里面算比较年长，有资格说两句

Thao这个人怎么说呢，就是一个啥都不懂的小孩子在胡搞。我从手术后基本上就没有见过他几次，可能5根手指头数的清。从手术前到手术后都是Chris协助我，告诉我要注意的事项。Thao这个人呢，平常基本上你是找不到他的。发信息起码等一个礼拜才回复。打电话也失踪，如果找到他那可真要感恩戴德…. 反正去做手术的话，就当他不存在就行了

偶尔找到他的时候，脾气和态度都很不好。要不是那个时候我腿断了，真的想扇他几个巴掌，教育教育一下。三餐吃的东西难吃到狗也不吃，而且给饭还给的不准时，有一顿没一顿的。基本上都要靠自己点外卖才能吃到点人吃的东西。

重点是，一如Mordans说的，Thao提供的所谓护士和理疗师，完全是找他自己无照的家人来干。整个就像个家庭式小作坊一样，哈哈哈。我当时最讨厌的就是那个叫Hanh的所谓女护士，其实是Thao的姐姐，真他妈的不靠谱。进来帮我换纱布消毒都不会带手套，直接徒手换，导致我伤口被感染好几次，态度还真差。

那个叫Ngan的所谓理疗师，在我手术的时候其实是厨师，不知道什么原因她后来突然变身成为理疗师。她其实也是Thao的姐姐。妈的真的整个家族都上齐了呀。关键是她理疗做的一塌糊涂，还把人拉伤了，这事很多患者都知道。

Thao你他妈现在这样抹黑Chris，良心过意的去？术前术中术后是谁陪我们进手术室的？手术后都是Chris来医院协助指导我们站立、行走的。回到康复中心之后也是Chris日常来探访协助指导我们。我绝大部份时间都没见过Thao你出现过。手术后你就把我们患者当空气对待，似乎我们患者的死活跟你Thao半毛钱关系都没有。

你还敢要我们提供记录证明自己手术？你脑袋真的不好使啊，忘记了手术合同里面的霸王条款？霸王条款规定，只要患者在外面说你们不好，你们就取消所有术后保修权利。这样谁敢曝光自己身份啊？

Mordans，你跟他们签的手术合同里面有这种霸王条款吗？

以下图片是我拍摄的，可以证明我曾经是他们的患者。图片里面是Thao和Hanh，拍摄的时候是我在4个月里难得见到Thao的其中一次。发文的原意是希望大家一定要认清楚他们，避开他们，他们就是一堆小孩子乱搞，谁去谁倒霉。

I can’t write English well so I’m using AI to translate the above Chinese to English:

I was a patient of Dr. Quynh in Ho Chi Minh who had limb-lengthening surgery — my experience matches Mordans’ almost exactly. I’m older than most patients, so I have a right to speak.

Thao is basically an incompetent kid who messes things up. I barely saw him after the surgery. Chris was the one who assisted me before and after surgery and told me what to watch for. Thao is usually nowhere to be found: slow to reply to messages (about a week) and rarely answers the phone — if you find him you should be grateful. If you have the surgery, treat him as if he doesn’t exist.

When he does show up, his temper and attitude are awful. If my leg hadn’t been broken I would’ve liked to slap him. The food was disgusting and delivered irregularly; we mostly had to order takeout to eat properly.

Crucially, as Mordans said, the “nurses” and “physiotherapists” Thao provided were unlicensed family members — basically a family-run backyard operation. The nurse Hanh (Thao’s sister) was totally unreliable: she changed my dressings with bare hands (no gloves), which led to multiple wound infections, and her attitude was terrible.

The so-called physiotherapist Ngan was actually a cook during my surgery and later presented herself as the therapist — also Thao’s sister. It really looked like a family-run business, and her therapy was awful; she even injured patients. Many patients know this.

Thao, how dare you now smear Chris — don’t you have any conscience? Who accompanied us into the operating room? Who helped us stand and walk after surgery? Who made the regular visits after we returned to the rehab center? It was Chris all along. I hardly ever saw you. After surgery you treated us like air, as if our lives didn’t matter to you at all.

You even dared to ask us for records to prove we had surgery? Have you forgotten the contract’s abusive clause that voids all postoperative care if patients speak badly of you? Who would expose their identity under that?

Mordans — does your surgery contract include that kind of abusive clause?

I’m attaching photos I took proving I was their patient; they show Thao and Hanh — one of the rare times I saw Thao in four months. I posted this to warn everyone: recognize and avoid them — they’re a bunch of kids cutting corners; anyone who goes there will have bad luck.
