does anybody know which doctor can do ulna lengthening?

Edit Post

look you keep demanding people not judge. but your on a forum where people log in to give opinions.

you don't get it, there is a guarantied huge reduction in function.

you will be told its a dumb idea to get surgery, because you would be mutilating your arms. your reduction in function is 100% going to happen because of the nature of the surgery.

your bones can not be lengthened and retain function at the same time. they are diametrically opposed for forearms. any other bone can be lengthened and still achieve minimal reduction in function, even femur as it is load bearing even though it is curved it will undergo bone remodeling over 7 years. the forearm can not.

Is clavicle lengthening really as dangerous as ulna osteotomy?

I'm trying to find out.

Why and how do you know that?

I just googled it for 10 seconds like you recommended. The operation was done with children and complications occured with some children. Some were fine. I dont know if it is the same thing with adults. I am not a doctor, but it says that the children that were done successfully were happy with the result. It does not seem impossible to me to do this and I think it can be done successfully. But we have to ask some doctors that have done it.

oh bro i wouldnt do that. not enough cases yet

first every single surgeon who has actually performed this surgery said it is a bad idea because of the results their patients got.

second do you have any idea how dumb your argument is............. don't you even know the difference in bone remodeling for children and adults....

you do understand that children's bones can auto heal perfectly where as adults loose that ability. you just don't understand, please educate yourself before asking further questions.

and if you educate yourself you will see why ulna lengthening is a really dumb idea.

let me give you some advice, stop insisting your right when you present information if you are ignorant to the topic. humble yourself.

QuoteA child’s bones heal faster than an adult’s because a thicker, stronger, and more active dense fibrous membrane (periosteum) covers the surface of their bones.[5] The periosteum has blood vessels that supply oxygen and nutrition to the bone cells. The stronger and thicker periosteum in children causes a better supply of oxygen and nutrients to the bones,[6] and this helps in the remodeling of the fractured bones by supplying. The periosteum in children causes a more rapid union of fractured bones and an increased potential for remodeling.[5] A child’s fractures not only heal more quickly, but are significantly reduced due to the thickness and strength of a child’s periosteum.

its kinda like people who said i wouldnt be able to walk with how my bone was aligned... and when i asked for proof for why i wouldnt be able to walk , they told me the proof is the x ray as if they know how to judge an x ray.. id love to get in a room with all these people and see how dumb they really are in real life..

It's possible, just risky. Ask Dr. Solomin, I'm not sure he'll agree to perform it on you, most likely not.
