Thank you for bluntly lying about your identity, it just helps me proving my point.

Quote from: notimportant on February 16, 2017, 10:56:12 PMPatients promote Fitbone and Dr Monegal because they have been told to.

I don't know about the rules of this forum but spreading false information about a doctor like this should be forbidden.

You Auron you're spreading false information when you say I'm Lluser.

The prmotion thing is not false information. I don't know if the doctor told you to promote him but he has done that in the past. He pushed people to write positive reviews and punished them when they posted negative aspects. Patients themselves posted this in the boards, Cinsomtide and Cooper and others.

The more you talk, the more obvious you are. Might as well call yourself Lluser2.

I think precise is a lot better than fitbone and parihar has had a better reputation in the forum.

Everybody knows Precice is better than Fitbone in accuracy and Fitbone fails more often. The Fitbone nails is bad according to patients themselves. It fails often and it isn't accurate.

I actually have a good relationship with Monegal, and will be getting the rod taken out in June

He  did a good job with my deformity, and  the hospital he works it is very clean and very modern.  I can't say the same about my experience in India

Did you have any complications with monegal?

I am currently a patient of Dr. Monegal, just as Auron. I do not know much about Dr. Parihar, except from this forum. I had been in touch with Guichet and Betz before. I am a PhD myself and have studied limb lengthening at length before getting it done.

So let me weigh in on the discussion.
The biggest difference is between internal and external limb lengthening. For cosmetic limb lengthening you definitely want to go with internal.
Most common internal nails are Guichet nail, Betz nail, Fitbone and Precise. I do not know which one is best, but I decided for Fitbone for these reasons:
1. developed by cooperation of Dr. Baumgart, an person that worked before together with Guichet (you can see them together on Guichet’s website) and Wittenstein, a German manufacturer of precision engines
2. Read good review
3. Dr. Monegal explained me advantages of Guichet and Betz nail, and that he also could operate with Precise, which would pay him a lot of commission for each operation, but he prefers Fitbone for medical reasons
I had a problem but I do not blame them for this. However, I still have to see if they take full responsibility for the complications, so my final judgement on Fitbone, on if they are not only good engineers but also an ethical company, is still out; they are still investigating what happend.

I decided for Dr. Monegal for these reasons:
I did not see much difference between Dr. Monegal, Betz, Guichet, Paley etc.
I talked to him and he was able to convince me of his reputation and skill

So far none of the patients that I have personally met have told me that in hindsight they might have chosen a different doctor. Even Musicmaker, a friend of mine, says she might not have done operation if she would have known complications but she would not have chosen a different doctor.

I decided against any doctor from outside Western Europe and US, because I am still a bit scared of surgery in a developing country.

Anybody, who thinks I am getting pushed by Dr. Monegal to write this, could just write me, or Auron or Musicmaker, for a private opinion.

He did LL in India and had complications. Dr Monegal offered to fix him for a price. He had his surgery and while in hospital he complained in the forum about not feeling his leg. Dr Monegal came to his room to yell at him for writing that in the forum. Cinsotide has complained in the board Dr Monegal doesnt' answer when he can't take profit of him.

My biggest concern is dying or having my legs amputated. And from what notimportant says that kind of worries me.

Do you have any sources to verify what you say notimportant?
