Planning to go to Dr Barinov in Volgograd russia. Hes an old doctor with years of experience and there are many old diaries from the clinic in Volgograd and their staff is veteran in this. The full final decision will be made after my visit to volgograd which is coming up soon. Considering LATN there. I am really inclined towards this. hoping now it all goes well.

Hi contacted Barinov’s clinic and here are the current prices:

 Ilizarov surgery is 14 500 euros inlcuding 1 month stay in the hospital: surgery under spinal anesthesia, meals and medical care.  Each additional month at the clinic is 1 200 euros with accommodation, meals and medical care. With 7.5 cm  it may take about 8 months till the end of consolidation when the frames can be removed. So, totally it may cost 22 900 euros. There may be some extra expenses, too, if you need supplements to  speed up  bone regeneration.

At our clinic LATN  alongside with Iizarov is also used. With this method you can stay 5 months at the clinic but you'll need one more surgery to implant the nails  which costs 4 300 euros., so the price is hardly cheaper.

It's possible to reduce expenses if you rent an apartment and the clinic may help you to find it. This way you can save 300-400 euros a month.

As for complications, if you follow the surgeon's advice and exercise daily, the process is without any complications but I must say that lengthening  requires hard work and a lot of patience.

contacted both. the staff with barinov seemed more helpful. + ive heard its mostly kulesh doing everything so solomin is just there to be there. Also barinov is more experienced and has had more patients. prices are close (kulesh seems a bit cheaper)

In the end both doctors seem fine it comes down to personal preference and what the mind settles to.

If we're being honest misalignment on Ilazarov frame by gold standard should never ever happen since any experienced Doctor can correct it

The only reason people would still go to Dr. Barinov is to be with hot correction girls.

Its about 5 days after surgery. I can alrdy walk, stand, no pain. Move muscles in all directions.

Did have 9/10 pain 1.5 days the kind where u put hands over mouth to not scream. Well i was expecting it and fully prepared for it. Chose to bear it without painkillers for 2 small advantages.

To signal chemical production to brain. To desensatize pain receptors down a grade for future. Currently painfree and on the right path.
