Quote from: yagen on February 16, 2016, 07:57:30 AMI have nothing against you, but you always think wrong about me. Dont worry, I am going to tell my diary till the end, I am not goint to waste my time, other users see the same thing about you, I show you my evidences.
Penguinn Said "I'm neutral and want the truth but without any fluff. Is there anything serious Dr. Monegal has done? Your reply to that is "patients are still under him and can't speak up". Looks like we'll have to wait until their LL is done to see if they speak up. Until then this whole thing is running around in circles and just spreading negativity.
Seems fair to everyone? We'll wait a couple months and see if the patients speak up after their LL is done. Everyone can chill and not get their jimmies rustled by baseless things until then."
Please show us your evidences thus all we can improve the forum.
I give you a present for your sources.....
my scars are tiny.
Your problem is that I had not problems with LL
Thanks bro.

Hi Yagen. To what level does only having one leg inhibit your every day activities. Obviously you live a pretty normal life, is it only sports and sleep that the leg is impacting on?
Quote from: Dr Monegal on February 16, 2016, 12:24:50 AMWell done LLuser.
Like a shark smelling blood.
You forgot Other 30 patients.
Don t want to mess with any Of You But This Is a real patient And I beg You to show some respect to a legit diary.
As I said. If i ever find a fake diary I Will report It myself.
Goodbye. This Is My Last post ever
Shark smelling blood? No sir, I'm not. There are vultures preying on the forum but I'm not one of them.
You don't have 30 patients. Perhaps you've done around 30 legs but not 30 patients. I know for sure and your patients know.
Your last post ever? Then why did you post again?

Me parece que no somos ni los primeros, ni el primer español en hacerlo. Lo siento pero no vamos a conseguir la pole 
A dia de hoy no he intentado andar con una muleta solo, pero creo que tampoco merece la pena en esta fase, estoy seguro que fitbone aguanta mas peso, de hecho los pacientes que se operan de dos piernas a la vez con el andador y al hacer el balanceo necesitan al menos apoya el 50% de su peso. Cada dia tengo mas confianza en la pierna, pero no creo que forzar el fitbone o los clavos sea necesario, porque de momento en esta fase lo que me preocupa es Alargar, estirar y dormir, ademas no se ha formado todavia ningun tipo de cayo oseo que soporte algo de peso.
Si ves el timing de Xavi, termina el dia 64 y el dia 81 esta andando sin muletas, otro paciente de Monegal con el que hablo, segun termino de alargar empezo a caminar. Y por las radiografias no hay ningun cayo oseo formado a los 3 meses. Por lo que supongo que el fitbone aguanta todo el peso, y mas cuando no llevas el fitbone mas de 6 cm que es cuando el momento flector es mayor y hay mas posibilidades de doblarse.
Si hoy finalizase el alargamiento siento la confianza en la pierna para empezar a coger la dinamica de andar con una muleta, pero hasta que no termine el alargamiento y la pierna deje de sufrir, no empezare a andar sin muletas y siempre siguiendo la recomendación del doctor.
Cualquier duda, preguntamela, porque yo me tenia mil dudas que otros pacientes me han ido resoviendo.
Quote from: XXX on January 07, 2015, 10:02:17 PMMy name is Xavi, I'm 33 years old, I’ve got athletic build, my weight is 63 kg and my height was 166 cm.
For personal reasons, become taller, it was my life dream. My legs were slightly curved and they were quite short in compare with the trunk. Also, I've broad shoulders and they seemed disproportionate to my body.
I’ve been walking with shoe insoles until now, because I usually felt lumbar pain. However, I've always been a running lover, but for a long time, I couldn't run because always ended with contractures in the knees or plantar fasciitis.
In August from 2014, I was searching the Internet, when suddenly I found Dr. Alejandro Monegal expert and authorized by Wittenstein Intens in bone lengthening by Fitbone system. He is one of the 25 doctors in the world, who practice this type of surgery.
In September I had the first interview with him. He had empathy with me and he understood perfectly my problem and my complex.
The 16th of October, he made me the first intervention surgery of my left leg. He introduced the Fitbone system inside my femur. Before, we had been agree to do an elongation of 6 cm. At the end, my height is 172 cm. My dream was come true!
Eight days after the surgery, I began with two pulsations of Fitbone system (0.27 mm each pulsation) each day.
11 days after the surgery, I could start walking with crutches. I've been walking 45 minutes every day.
In October 30, I stopped taking painkillers. At that time, I was connected the Fitbone system three times every day.
November 3rd I started working. My life it was more or less normal with crutches limitations.
November 13th I'm connected the Fitbone four times each day. From the third centimetre, I begin to feel some tenderness in the fracture, when I connect the Fitbone system.
On December 19th I'm finished the treatment. I had grown 5 cm and my actual height is 172 cm. That was more than I’ve been expected. Dr. Alejandro Monegal had put my leg completely straight and with that I finally won an extra centimetre. Now, the ratio between the femur and tibia is perfect.
Today 4th January 2015 I can walk without crutches and my femur is consolidating well. So, If all goes well, at the end of February Dr. Alejandro Monegal will do the second surgery on my right leg.
The result is extremely spectacular, and I am very happy and pleased with the process and it seems impossible that my dream was becoming true.
I'm still doing leg stretches (hour and a half every day). It’s important that tendons and muscles have to stretched and is absolutely essential this type of stretching. It is very important to keep track of increases in footwear to adapting to the new height.
Slowly I'm breaking the leg adhesion, because I can’t bend more than 90 degrees. At the same time that the bone is consolidated is important to do some rehabilitation.
My assessment of the whole process is excellent, if you have enthusiasm, discipline and work hard every day, the lengthening process will be effective.
You can see the results from week to week. Dr. Alejandro Monegal has been an excellent surgeon for me. We talk frequently to monitor the whole process and I’m so thankful with him, because he made my dream come true.
My life is changing completely and this is a new beginning for me.
Now that's all. Once, I’ve finished the second surgery, I will write again telling my experience.
Bye and see you soon.
@patientzero
Thanks for the good advice and for making me see that it is a normal thing.
On my worst night I took two tramadoles .
This weekend weekend I started taking melatonin to regulate sleep, so I can sleep better by the day and evening , adding all naps have been able to sleep eight hours .
That has raised my positive feeling and my level of fatigue now is minimum

You spend more time to do anything, the problem is no just the leg, both hands are busy. But You can manage your life.
You are more tired than before surgery, If you stay sit down a lot of time you dont feel comfortable, I prefer to have my leg straight, and remember you fell stiffness in your leg the first hour when you do the clicks.
I dont think that the stiffness is something that everyone has after clicking. I didnt feel anything after that.
I started to walk unnaided right after finish my lengthening

How is your consolidation? how is your walk? can you with just one leg bear all your weight?
Thank you
Fitbone4 & Precise2 can hold a lot more weight than is advertised.
I know patients of both nails that started full weight bearing before their doctor gave permission. It is more likely that you will have a loose screw than a broken nail, but I highly discourage you from doing full weight bearing until you have at least 1 visible bony bridge in your x-rays--this may be 2-3 months after you stop distraction. This bony bridge will share the weight and take some stress off the nails.
Some patients get way too comfortable with their internal nails and even do weight bearing during distraction. Don't be that person lol.
I am following what Paley prescribes in his protocols for maximum safety.
