Dr Dimitrios Giotikas (Athens, Greece)

Quote from: raku on February 06, 2019, 03:35:59 AMI appreciate your sharing your condition with Dr. Giotikas. Hope you succeed being a candidate in the future. Do you considering TSF (pure external)in tibia? In my memory it maybe can support your weight.(not sure) Maybe the smoking problem matter more but you should also struggle for diet definitely.

I'm doing a treatment to stop smoke and I'll lose weight, there is no problem there.

I consider doing quadrilateral first in the left leg and than the right, with stryde on femur and tsf on tibia. My "ideal" goal would be 8cm on femur and 7cm on tibia. My minimal goal would be 6cm on femur and 4 cm on tibia.

Cool. Your goal is reasonable. At least 10 and listen your body. But 15cm is Extreme maybe 13 would be great. Anyway Hope you could be a candidate and make your dream come true. Femur tibia patients is really seldom in this forum. I think many people including me hope witness your secession.

Is there a minimum height that Dimitrios consider to operate some candidate . I am 178cm and I want to do it

Dr. Giotikas is scheduled to implant his first STRYDE nail by the end of the month.

Who will be the patient? Trauma or cosmetic?

Hi guys! Thank you so so much for this forum! I have learned a lot reading it for days!
And I am sure I still have lots to learn!
I’m planning to have a consultation with Dr. Dimitrios soon.
Very interested on the stryde
But I wish someone could write a diary about it. I understand it’s too early as he didn’t perform many surgeries with STRYDE.. but maybe I will be the first one to write it if I do it..
I was so confused in the beginning.. I thought about Betz or russian doctors..
I was lost.. thank you everyone for all your feedbacks..
I feel that dr dimitrios is the right one for me.
I will do my best to write a simple and informative diary and I hope I can help people as you all helped me in taking my decision! Thank you!

Meanwhile, if anyone had a STRYDE with Dr. Dimitrios, it would be great to read your diary

I am also considering surgery with giotikas this summer. He seems to handle not only TSF but also LON. It can reduce the length of stay to 3 months. He is a very nice doctor. However, he has little experience with the LON method. Only one patient who is currently using the LON method has been confirmed. What do you think about the LON method?

I think you are safe doing LON with Giotikas.

That's even cheaper than turky for precice and stryde wow!

Has he said anything on long-term knee pain from the stryde nail when its installed in tibias? I imagine if they cut open your knee long term knee pain is inevitable and I'd rather just do TSF in that case
