Quote from: somecm on January 03, 2014, 03:23:06 PMAbout wheel-chair, I didn´t understand well... Were you using walkers, crutches or wheel-chair during the lengthening period?

Had to use wheelchair unfortunately. I got a little unlucky as I needed one extra surgery, because the clicking didn't work in the right leg. Before that additional surgery I already had made it from wheelchair to walker (crutches would have been the next step). But after that extra surgery I somehow couldn't make it back to the walker, my muscles were too weak. You can read all the details in my diary.

Anyway, now I am doing better than ever before and I am sure in a few months I can show a nice video!

The small Rising of the price is not that much.

The totall cost for internal femurs is 31.500 euro. This includes op, hospital stay, Daily pt, massages, all medication, x-rays AND removing of the Nail 1.5-2 years later. 1000 euro of the mentioned 31.500 is to be payed at the time of Nail removal, so you don't need to have it at the start.

The old price was 39.000$ for tibias or femurs = 28.590€

New price femurs: 31.500€ --> increase of 2910€ (more than 10%)
New price tibias:   33.500€ --> increase of 4910€  (almost 20%)

Those are huge price increases (much more than any inflation), especially for tibias. Probably the price will even increase more in the next years, so I might have to settle for externals in my tibias  Dr Jamal Abu Nemer (Kiev, Ukraine) Medical centre BONAMED
Also that additional cost/cm is kind of new. It wasn't there yet when I did my LL with Jamal last year. Theoretically I could have even done 12cm without paying extra (except for accomodation of course).

Well, it is an increase for sure. What I mean is that it's still a reasonable price if you compare it with other internal options.

Hello all,

I have been trying to contact Jamal through the address [email protected] but my messages have consistently failed to send and have been returned to my inbox. Have you had success reaching Jamal at this address? If anyone has alternate contact information, it would be greatly appreciated.

Best,
Michael
