Hi,
I found Dr. Elbatrawyt on short person support. I haven’t seen him on this forum or old forum and It would be great to hear your opinion about him.
Also known as "The Butcher of Cairo"...
He was basically the Dr. Sarin of his time, back when I was doing my LL. Popular, but lots of bad things were said about him on old forum .
After all the turmoil in Egypt and the bad press on old forum , he fell off everyone's radar.
Hey,
Short person support and Dr. Yasser website: Cairo International Center of Limb lengthening and reconstruction
Made me feel that I could trust him as an expert… anyway….Your accusations and the butcher part worries me how’s he a butcher?
Here's a quote from someone who claimed to be one of his patients:
QuoteWell, I am very glad to be back home. However, I am not happy. My bone growth rate is below the average, which is causing me considerable distress. My doctor in London believes this may be due to the extemely straight osteotomy cut and wonders what instrument was used for this. He tells me there may be a possibility that this is hindering bone growth. Apparently, a jagged edge is better for regeneration. Also, he told me that more pins than necessary have been put in the distal segment of my leg. I knew this and asked in Egypt for them to be removed, but was refused. I asked my doctor here to remove them, but he is reluctant before consolidation. I am annoyed because each pin equals intermittent sharp stab pains and those distal ones are making it very stiff for walking.
He did put a whole lot of pins through the legs for extra stability, because he emphasized a lot of physical activity and PT with the frames on. He made you exercise and stretch even if you were in pain. Everyone knew that going into the surgery though, at least they should have if they'd done their research and compared him to other doctors.
I'm not sure what to make of this bone growth/osteotomy cut complaint. Several patients in Beijing had bad bone growth, a clinic with a proven track record and the most LL cases in the world. That doctor in London who believes the osteotomy cut was bad was probably not an LL expert either. If he thought there were too many pins, why didin't he remove the extras?
Like Dr. Sarin today, a lot of Dr. Elbarwary patients were banned form posting on old forum and diaries got deleted. old forum Admin tried to find fault with things that weren't problems and ended up deleting the arguments he'd lost so he wouldn't look bad. Like I said, history is repeating with Dr. Sarin.
Seriously MDOW?
When was all this old forum drama? SysOp's time or old forum A's time?
This was all in 2006-2007 during old forum Admin's time.
One of the claims on his website:
"The total cost for ISKD is fixed to 24000 US $ for bilateral application. The regular price to buy one ISKD from the company only is: 7500 US $. We see that this price of 24000 US $ totally is really a great price for those wish to apply ISKD."
One ISKD nail actually costs around 15k USD.

just to note; the ISKD is no longer being used worldwide due to random malfunctions.
Yeah, that's old info. I remember that price from 2007.
