Dr. Giotikas offers a free 15 min Skype consultation.

Appointment Link: https://www.athensbjr.com/book-an-appointment.html

Anyone interested in limb lengthening should take full advantage of this great opportunity to gain knowledge and insight from a doctor who at this point appears to be the best option in Europe.

1 - How many cm can you gain on both femur without taking big risks?

" Up to 7cm in femurs is considered relatively safe. "

2 - Is there something I can do before surgery to improve my recovery?

" We provide a pre-operative muscle stretching program to help patients get used to perform this exercise routine daily and to improve their muscle condition."

3 - What will I be able to do during lengthening and consolidation (walking, driving, sightseeing, sitting for a longer time?). If I only make stryde on the femur.

"The exact weight bearing protocol of Stryde is yet to be determined. It will depend on patient's body weight and, most importantly, on the nail's clinical performance during the first months of its clinical use. Based on current evidence, I expect that 3 to 6 weeks after surgery most patients will be able to walk and drive.
We remain at your disposal for any further information and assistance."

The thing im concerned about him is his experience. I hope he is the real deal because there dont seem to be any safe option in europe except him and maybe Pili.

Pili isn't safe.

I'm guessing our greek doctor is more experiened in external fixators having been involved in many deformity correction cases.

For my part I intend to have surgery before January so I'll make a complete return.

In other words, I do not see orther dr to trust (in Europe) with a good service / price ratio.

I will most likely choose him during this summer as well. I'll have an appointment with him on the 11th of June, we'll see.

I booked a surgery with Dr. Dimitrios in Oct  and Aug with Dr. Lee in S. Korea. I still can't decide which dr I will give the green light. I had LON done with Dr. Lee last year. He was a great doctor. I am almost back to normal now just still a little stiff.

Those are two good choices. Don't think you can go wrong with either. The real question is why in the world would you have surgery in August or October with Precice and spend months in a wheelchair, when you can just wait for them to get Stryde and walk two weeks after surgery?
