She has a deformity. Physical therapy can't fix this.
It is hard to believe the surgeon takes pride in showing this case as a success with "final result" as the heading of the clip. Definitely avoid this guy.
I agree. This would be the last video I'd want prospect patients to see. I wonder what caused the X legs?
Quote from: limewalk on September 16, 2019, 12:05:36 PMCan you provide more details? There is one diary here of an Australian patient who did his femur lengthening with Dr. Suhas Shah which went uneventfully.
First, there was a forum member, crimsontide, this doctor did atl surgery on him with very bad results. I know about other female patient, but i can't post info about her in the forum. She did her surgery with this doctor and ended with serious problems.
Quote from: LifesTooShort on July 25, 2014, 05:51:23 AMOkay so I just got off the phone with Dr. Shah (his assistant answered at first and, ironically, speaks not a word of English lol).
Dr. Shah states that the total cost of lengthening with the Precise 2 nail, including all hospital fees and one week's stay in the hospital, is $40,000USD (FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS!). He also gives his patients the option of going home (in my case Canada) to lengthen, returning to India only to have the nail locked and to return the transponder. Of course there is the additional surgery to remove the nails 1 to 2 years after the initial surgery (the cost of which I stupidly forgot to ask him). I think this is great news! He claims he has "done this procedure before", but I wasn't able to obtain a figure as to how many times. I'm doing my tibias in January, but if this price remains the same in a year or two (wishful thinking), I'll be going there for my femurs.
the precice nail doesn't need to be "locked" and the ERC can be returned via mail to NuVasive.
