Can patients still lengthen at home?
I'm planning on doing LL next year and I can't decide betwen Bagirov or Naveen Talwar because of the price. I believe those are the cheapest or are there any other cheaper?
Hello everyone, because of his price Dr.Bagirov is an affordable choice for me but is it a good choice ? Does he still offer LL ?
I like Russian doctors, but I don't know this one very well. Would you recommend him?
bagirov is an ok surgeon... though he only does 1 leg... his assistant does the other
and theres no aftercare at all
the frames are also too small
Does this doctor do LON or LATN?
no
When I was there they offered me two methods
1.staying in ex fixator for 12-15 month.
2.staying in ex fixator for 4-5 month then you have a metal rod inside for 2-3 years inside.
The price between these two are different.

External Ilizarov Method (Translated From Russian Text)
In our clinic we perform surgery to lengthen the legs on the basis of low-traumatic techniques using improved layouts Ilizarov fixator. The success of the operation and guarantee its security mainly depends on the quality of preoperative examination. Using computed tomography identifies all the dimensional characteristics of the legs: the length of each leg , each segment, their proportions, and the state of the hip, knee and ankle joints for further calculation of rotational deformities . The operation is that, installing the Ilizarov Ex.fix then at different levels intersect tibia and fibula. Then with the help of external structures (sets), the patient themselves (with the help of simple devices) stretches shin bone at the site of tibial osteotomy (distraction phase). growing callus fills widening gap (consolidation phase).
The next day after surgery, the patient gets up and walks alone through "walkers". 5-6 days after operation the patient start stretching of bone (distraction) dosed by twisting the nuts in the device in a certain rhythm and rate, calculated individually for each patient using a special computer program. range of distraction (stretching) used for extending the legs is 0.5 - 1 mm per day.
In the elongation zone formed regenerate bone, which is already increased in the length during the time of distraction. Later, after the extension period (distraction), it takes time to complete the process of ossification ( consolidation) of the newly formed regenerate.
Time of use of external fixation device depend on the amount of lengthening which is needed of the lower extremities (the larger the value the longer the time in fixation apparatus), it depends also on the method which is used for lengthening (LON - LATU )and in addition there are many individual characteristics of the patient (sxx, age, presence of chronic diseases) and the average is from 6 to 12 months.
Very important in this process is itself an external fixator. There are different types and variations of an external fixator, which is carried out by means of lengthening, but almost all of them have a significant disadvantage large dimensions that cause discomfort when wearing clothes as well as limitation of the movement of the adjacent joints. We solved this problem by creating a compact, space-saving arrangement of the Ilizarov fixator clamps with rigid structure capable of withstanding all loads and all weights for limb lengthening and does not restrict movement in the adjacent joints and does not cause any discomfort on wearing clothes . The entire period of the extension and follow up , a thorough inspection by a doctor using X-ray and computed tomography studies. After removal of structures (spokes and rods) are small marks on the skin, but over time they become lighter and almost indistinguishable.
Patient performed independently under the supervision of a physician periodic 1-2 times a month. The number of days required to achieve the chosen patient is calculated as follows: elongation (elongation at 3 cm distraction require 30 days - given rate of 1 mm per day, etc., sometimes stretched over time, the amount is from 0.5 to 1 mm).

Bagirov is a good dr
The only issue is the aftercare. He might have fixed that though. I would recommend this facility though for the surgery. It's very clean, and Bagirov is very very very good
The hospital itself is very very clean. The Operating room is just as you'd see in New York. The Russians are good at this surgery
