Could knee pain be avoided with LON metod too? Or is only 100x100 protected with fitbone?

Edit Post

There is a Suprapatellar set from Smith and Nephew regularly used for trauma fractures that might be usefull for tibiae. In femur You can perform antegrade technique

Edit Post

This seems OK only if you do tibia and femur at once. But if you want to do only femurs or only tibias it seems that going to Spain isn't worth the effort. More surgeries mean a higher possibility of problems, more money... and a longer recovery period. More than one year for only 6-8 cm? No thanks. Only if tibia and femur are done together.

QuoteLol you telling me dr. G or Dr. Paley aren't good doctors because they don't have upper height limits?
I have to agree with read rothbard on this issue.

even though there is a very good reason why the great majority of people cant go past the safe limit, there are people who can. and so doctors cant really be judged by not having a lengthening limit.

instead a good doctor will strongly recommend that there is a very good chance for complications if you go above the safe limit and strongly advice against going further than this, but also maintaining that they will re examine whether further lengthening is advisable when you approach the safe limit for the individual.

I am saying this because I'm remembering a guy from old forum who was operated by a surgeon in Barcelona and his knees were completely destroyed. I don't know if he was operated by this doctor or by another one in that city but this is making me worry. Well, I'm posting this just for you, to think twice before going to him, bcs I won't go to Spain. I don't know where I'll go. I would have chosen Russia, but the political crisis worries me.

There're other more reknown doctors in Barcelona, as Ginebreda, and other doctors in Madrid who do ALbizzia and in other cities (Malaga,Pamplona). You should include their names in this forum.

Edit Post

Yes they are. i totally agree with you.

Dr Ginebreda is a world reference in Limb lengthening specially in All type of dwarfism. He has been my maestro during 9 years and he is an excellent limb lengthening Specialist. He deserves all my respect and admiration. He has done a marvellous carreer taking care of kids affected from growth disorders.

In Pamplona Dr Julio de Pablos is Another experienced doctor. I don t know if he is Doing internals. As far as I know he has performed some cases using Precice nail.

In Málaga Dr Felipe Luna. He is Also specialized in dwarfism and growth disorders.

Sorry I cannot tell you a name in Madrid. Maybe Dr Marti. He is a very experienced limb reconstruction surgeon.

I hope This information is helpfull for you guys.
