Quote from: Thegosis on January 15, 2015, 09:44:25 AMHere 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?"
Hey,Dude
I feel obligated to tell you external femer is nightmare and way too hard for us to sustain, I've seen two petient this year doing this with Dr xia, muscle in femur is too strong ,will lead to any kinds of external fixator distortion, and bone mislign is unavoidable ,and can not be correct to normal level , besides ,because of the frame, you cannot turn your body when you lie in bed in these servral month, that's suffering, so lots of doctor start to think it's immoral to perform femur external lengthening for health person
the pain level is too huge compare to tibia, and fail rate is very high,knee benting is hard to recover when you doing external, i'm not joke or tellling story, just think more when doing decision ,i know both Dr xia and Dr peng, i know all about them ,not that every story they says is ture
Hope you good,dude

I replied that 7-8cm on femur was what I desired, as I already coped with that much on the tibiae, but the reply back is that they only do 4-5cm. The femur, the longest bone in the body, is 20% longer than the tibia in a typical case. So that's an odd one, don't you admit? Must be to do with the method of monorail fixation.
It might have to do with muscle resistance being too strong for the pins when doing external femurs.
I wonder if it would be possible to return to deadlifts, squats, and some strongman activities about 4-6 months after the surgery. What do you think MDOW? I would like to do between 7-8 cm.
4-6 months after the 2nd surgery, yes. But be sure to ask about the weight limit of the nails before you try anything heavy.

By the 2nd surgery , u mean "Insertion of nails" into the bones?
1st surgery - legs are broken, nails are put in with screws just on the top, frames are put on
2nd surgery - frames are removed, screws are put through the nails on the bottom
3rd surgery - screws/nails come out
thnx for the info bro 
i don't want to overgeneralise but Chinese people are well known for making second-quality imitations of good products. Cheap but very low quality. Is it the same with LL?

I totally understand you bro. Which is why I ddint wanna go China. I think it might be over-generalisation, but we Asians typically avoid Chinese products and services (they are usually not of good quality , or imitation).
If I had the money, and want an Asian treatment, I think Korea is good. Singapore has too little experience in LL. For other surgeries , Singapore is good.
