Dr Giotikas, LON 5cm Tibia

Edit Post

By Xlegs I assume he means valgus defomity- I think this is assumed because her knees are inwardly rotating relatively to her feet. You do not need to be an expert to notice her knees are not pointing forward and make such a  speculation. This is  usually caused by external tibia torsion. People with this deformity can only walk with their feet forward by compensating (inwardly rotating hips/knees). I am also surprised by the fact that she had rotational correction as well. I expected alignment to be restored but it seems like it is not!

Lol well yeah but I’m not familiar with the nails, I only know about Stryde nail being a good one. But not sure what LON is or the others. And what do you mean by fake patients? I’ve read few diaries of Dr giotikas and he seems like a reliable surgeon...

All finished for you then. And what a journey it has been! This is my favourite diary of the many I’ve read on here. Your start to finish completion has been nothing short of inspiring. In fact I’m jealous.

Seems you don’t come on here much anymore now that it’s done for you, but in case you do please reply to this. Thanks for your google drive, it’s really helpful. However, I was wondering if you could provide a before and after set of videos. Nothing of this sort on the google drive. Do you think you could put something together? Interested to see what a 5cm actually adds to tibia looks like in photos.

Thanks Jolien

Wow, Jolien. Never really seen this type of diary format before. So neat! Google Drive with all videos, an executive summary, a google doc with tons of photos and clear & neat formatting, what you did and aftermaths, etc , still posting updates to this day (Though you've last been on half a year ago), a spreadsheet with short diary entries. Also very obvious you enjoyed paying a premium to stay at the physio center instead renting a place or an airbnb alone.. better for you mentally and physically.. I'll keep that in mind

Definitely one of the most descriptive diaries I've read. I will probably do something like this format for diary- it's super neat

Saw your xrays on July 10th. Looking really good. Congrats Jolien on your long attractive legs!

Thank you so much for recording your experience!

TY for bumping this to my attention ghkid I probably would have never seen  you are right this is an awesome diary given how sweet it is formatted and I'd like to do something also similar for my diary.
