Dr Alex Monegal (Barcelona, Spain) Clinica Diagonal

At first it seems bizarre to have one leg lengthened 4 to 6 inches doing 1 femur and 1 tib .

My first thought was hopping around with this dangling leg too big for me , but then I realized that all I had to do was to wear increasing elevator shoes. As my other leg grew, I add on for my short leg to even it out.

When I first was introduced to LL, it was on old forum  and I told all the guys there I was so excited about it I went and built 6 inch blocks out of 1x4 wood . I made boxes six inches high by 5 inches wide and then attached a rope through it and tied my feet to it.

I stomped around my house and it was quite strange. The world was really built for short folks. The toilet was now way too small. So was the sink. The fridge. Everything. Being over 6ft gets some getting used to.

As for the lengthening, with all the troubles with ballerina and wandering around in a wheel chair for months on end, why not just use a professional prosthesis and crutches to help strengthen the healing leg?

Makes a hell of a lot of sense to me.

Way beyond my budget, but this doctor prefers to lengthen one leg at a time, both the tibia and femur, and the benefits of this is you have one pain free leg. Less chance of embolism and better mobility since this is for the fistbone method. He prefers not to use external fixators for cosmetic, but for trauma. 

I have emailed the Doc asking him how much in one price it would be to go have 1 tibia and femur then one year later go do the other leg.

Hey, Dr Monegal mentioned in his medical backgraound that he did some training with Precise nail. Quote "I have Also been in Baltimore USA last summer with Dr Standard and Herzemberg where they introduced me to Precice technique." Who knows, maybe in the short term Precise will be available in Barcelona. I'll e-mail and see what he replies.
