Hi to the forum.
I am a doctor Monegal patient. Tomorrow i lengthening 5cm in my left leg. My goal is 5,5 in this leg and 6 in the other because i have a little discrepancy.
I had my surgery on 18 in february, in clinica diagonal.
At the moment i am very happy with the surgery and the results. I have my leg more straight with the surgery too.
cheers, paco.
Hi Paco

I saw a doctor from Gothenburg and one from Stockholm in that video, damn I wish they accepted cosmetic patients. If I could be operated on in Stockholm I could live with my grandad and everything would just be so much easier.

The main Point why I look short is that I AM currently 181 And probably people from north of Europe Are taller. The guys appearing beside me must bé 185-190. This Is quite disapointing but i cannot operate myself and none of my colleagues would operate me following their criteria.
Now being serious, must say That there are many reasons why as a surgeon I choosed fitbone among other systems. If I ever needed a LL procedure due to any cause, I would do Fitbone.
Glad to See mm is Not the only caring about me 
Dr. Monegal what can you tell me about the Swedish doctors? I assume they don't accept cosmetic cases but I wanted to ask anyway.
Dear Uppland
Swedish doctor's are excellent LL specialists. As far as I know There are 2 Fitbone centers in Sweden. I cannot tell you if they do perform CLL But you will be able to find their details at www.fitbone.com
I think they do practice At Stokholm and Gotteborg
Kind Regards
Thank you Dr. I sent an e-mail asking about cosmetic procedures.
Dear Dr. Monegal,
I hope that the fact that this video puts a face and character to your name will lead to people acting more respectfully towards you on this forum.
Regardinng limb lengthening, do you prefer to lengthen the femurs or the tibiae for cosmetic purposes? Which do you feel looks more aesthetic in men?
Dear Taller
It depends On biometrichal parameters of each patient. It is compulsory to perform radiological studies to measure each bone segment and calculate The fem/tibia ratio Of each individual.
In some cases We Migth See there Is a misproportion Between femur and tibia length, and it is adviceable to lengthen the hypometric bone maintaining a biomethrically viable limb after lengthening.
In other individuals we migth find nornal parameters preoperatively, and This means That Ideally they should be lengthenned in all 4 bones to preserve the original proportions. In case of lengthening only femur OR tibiae, the ammount of cm might be limited in order to keep the Limb in a viable ratio. Going beyond that limit migth cause a biomechanical conflict.
It Is very important to plan All Procedures so We can adjust Not only the biomechanical balance But Also allignment as well as a good cosmetic result. That is the main reason I prefer Fitbone rather than other LL internal implants or techniques.
Regards
Which procedure fitbone procedure or external fixator procedure is the most minimal invasive surgery?
