 (with both the tibia and femur being lengthened at the same time on  the same leg)

your ligaments for 1 leg will not be able to keep up, you will loose range of motion for femur which is normal, but if you loose range of motion for femur you will not even be able to perform stretches for tibia.

but by all means you have been warned. do what you want. there are so many reasons why doing 1 complete leg at a time is a terrible idea.

Ohh and the hospital looks so clean and brand new from those vids

Yeah, and not only the hospital looks modern and clean but the female staff looks very attractive, which might be a tremendous psychological motivator for many patients.

Yeah. About that. Doing two femurs or two tibias is the exact same stress to your ligaments than doing one femur and one tibia at the same time. Its two broken segments.

You systematically have refused every request to put up the abstracts from the medical profession or links to doctors opinions on this matter of one leg tibia and femur so your 'warning' is irrelevant.

We do however, have this medically trained doctor in Spain who has been doing this for a while now telling us its fine and even offers bilateral but does not recommend all 4 segments at the same time.

Surely we should reject his expert medical opinion and listen to a guy on LL hiding behind the internet using a fake name.

Seems legit. 

If anyone else has some abstracts from the medical profession to suggest doing one leg  tibia /femur at the same time has drastic consequences compared to bilateral surgery, feel free to post the links. We will definitely consider those.

Joking apart, it is true that the attention you receive is above and beyond the norm. Nice people over there.

I am seriously considering him for femurs, unless he is willing to offer externals for tibias at a lower price then I am considering the two stage.

39k USD for fitbone is pretty good pricing for a european doctor.

You'll be in hospital for only 4 days lol

Of course they'll show all the pretty ones in the vid, Im sure there are uglier and 'meh' ones as well. The same way you dont show a cars problems or wear and tear when you're trying to sell it

people talking here havent been never in Barcelona, i have been there and in clínica Diagonal, and its a really modern and big clinic . probably a lot better than most of USA

bad luck TomD its not my job to baby you through the information on dumb topics.

its like me saying if you do leg lengthening you will experience pain. im not going to post medical articles proving you get pain when you do leg lengthening. its preposterous. you lack any basic knowledge on how this works if you think you can lengthen both tibia and femur at the same time and not see any bad consequences.

2nd this supposedly amazing doctor from spain is a person and no person is all knowing just because they wear a white coat, that is ludicrous, there is another thread where this doctor sais that internal tibia is a piece of cake and is a good idea, and people have nothing to worry about  because the knee pain probability is extremely low, he even states it is next to nothing in terms of probability of getting knee pain with tibia lon, and then we have massive CLINICAL STUDIES and a range of WORLD CLASS doctors saying that the complication rate for lon and knee pain is greater than 50%. it suggests that your messiah from spain does not know what he is talking about. far from knowing everything like you claim because he wears a white coat.


there are so many reasons why it is a bad idea, and just 1 is that when you lengthen femur you will loose range of motion and you will not be able to do exercises to prevent ballerina foot when you have this femur loss of range of motion. and no my doctor is none of your business but he is certainly much more qualified than this guy from spain.

There you have it. Someone who has personally been there is confirming that this is a state-of-the-art clinic.

I have visited this wonderful and modern clinic, I have met this doctor personally, and I have already had my first procedure done. In other words, I know a little bit whereof I speak.

Musicmaker,

Great to know you're a patient of Dr Monegal. Are you having cosmetic lengthening or is it for other reasons? Are your from Spain or from other country? How do you like the clinic and the city of Barcelona? Good luck, and hope you can share with us some information. Thank you.
