Quote from: Medium Drink Of Water on November 27, 2014, 12:31:55 AMHere is Dr. Aimin Peng, the surgeon who did my LL in Beijing.
I was kind of hoping he'd be black.
What's the different between this contact and http://www.limblengtheningforum.com/index.php?topic=64.0 ?
Aren't they exact the same?
Please help 
Good question. The Beijing Institute of External Skeletal Fixation Technology (the one you linked to) is now sending their patients to Dr. Peng at China Rehabilitation Hospital. I don't know if they've merged or what the exact arrangement is, but either way Dr. Peng is now the surgeon.
Ronne/Wangbei is a broker. She can be thought of as a club promoter. Her job is to increase interest among potential foreign customers in local service providers. It appears that she is now sourcing new foreign patients to Dr. Aimin Peng instead of Dr. Xia/Ma. I personally disdain her because she often misleads new patients and their expectations. If you decide to go to Dr. Peng, just approach Ronne as you would a used car salesperson: with caution and skepticism.
The following in the first post:
"7) How fast can patients return to normal life (walking without support)?
2-3moths after internal rods inserted."
is misleading. It ranges from 1 (not advised) to 5 months (my case).
Ronne/Wang Bei lied often. There definitely is not a physical therapist involved with this operation at this price point. If interested in this issue, one should ask for pictures of the gym for physical therapy. Ronne's idea of physical therapy is to point your toes to the ceiling, then parallel to the ground and repeat. The gym should have stationary bikes, a treadmill, and weights at the least. A pool would be ideal for walking, but doubtful that this hospital has one.
The "Beijing Institute of External Fixation" is a misnomer. They could change the name to whatever they want as often they want to reference whatever entity they choose. There isn't any real institution, just particular doctors. In this case, the Beijing Institute of External Fixation could refer to Dr. Xia's old Guang Ji hospital (closed in June 2014) or to Dr. Xia himself (rarely around).

Good information
How dare these people lie to us for sage of themselves?
2-3 months walking again? Yeah right. The bare minimum is 4 months. The only way it could be that quick is if you lengthen 1".
I don't know, guys. 2-3 months sounds about right to me as a time frame for ditching the crutches. I wasn't walking at full speed by then, but I did "return to normal life / walking without support" in 3 months after doing 7.5cm.
He's Boss. He did mine too. Along with Dr Zhao who's younger. November 2013 to June 2014. Tibias 8cm with external Ilizarov fixators.
And I had ditched the crutches and returned to WORK within that time period measured from my release from their care. That's not the same as returning to full agility, which is not what's been said.
Here is correspondence I received from Wang Bei (Ronne) on behalf of Surgeon Peng:
"Dr. Peng has reviewed Xrays and confirmed all the condition is progressinggood on new generation .
you can come back for femur lengthening now if limb function recovered fully. he would like to removed the bottom screws for bone shapping at the same time of femuring lengthening.
there is no extra correction needed.
the cost for femur lengthening procedure is 29,000USD with 2 surgeries and 40-50days hospital stay since we have moved to a new hospital.
the extra cost you need to afford by yourself are:
1, maid care
2, food
3, extra hospital stay after free-period
how much would like to length on femur?"
