Hi Aistro10 - best diaries are on the old forum. RTW date depends on what you do. He showed me some vids of patients who could do a lot in the frames - takes time though! You can hide them - wear Oxford bags trousers, or flares/bell-bottom jeans, etc. Hippie fashion. I'll let you know - I'm gearing up for surgery this Oct. Go & meet him & Dr Schmidt. They are seem nice, genuine.

8cms seems a lot - especially if you are already 173cms, which isn't that short... 6cms or less is safer, according to LL Vets here from what I have read...

Edit Post

Dr. Salameh is a fine Doctor. Yes 7-8cm is possible

It's 25k$ per segment, right? So I'm assuming it's 50k$ for tibias+femur... am I wrong? Is it 25k$ if you're doing both at the same time?

It's 25k euro for tibias only,I don't know about femurs but as people always said:external femur is not a smart choice

Cheers.

Just avoid external femurs due their painful nature.

How was he able to do 16 cm just in tibia if most people at 5 cm are over?

Edit Post

I read somewhere he can do femur LON for 30k EUR. I know it might be painful and so on - but my question is, what can be the limit for such operation, how many cm?

Edit Post

If you would bear the pain i personally wouldn't go past 6cm.

There was once a civil war in my country, while all the western news were blowing out showing how dangerous it is in my country, it wasn't at all, unless you are really a foreigner. I will contact dr. Salameh before going, I will ask him whether it is safe. The soonest I can, I will fly to Germany or see my family in Turkey. I'll do my best to  lower my risks but i just also know how media works and how things on the ground are much more different.
