Quote from: farmerjohn1324 on October 27, 2017, 10:40:22 AMDo you think LON or LATN are just as safe as standard Ilizarov?


no; they involve intra-medullary reaming of the bone canal too, which carries the same risk as standard internal precise lengthening.

So I guess it's Ilizarov or nothing for me.

Sure sucks to have to wear those frames for so long.

I'm still trying to figure out if my proportions would be weird afterwards. I wish there was an easy way to tell.

if you want to minimize risks of internal method, imo you should go to
Dr. Paley, Dr. Rozbruch, or Dr. Parihar

The risks I discussed above are rare, although they can happen. This is why it is very important to go to the best surgeons possible so you can minimize risks

I don't want to pay for internal. I would pay extra for LON.

I just need to find out what proportions would be good. I don't want to look unnatural.

Hi MirinHeight,

Just curious as to why you didn't suggest Dr. Mahboubian as an option?  You've got him listed on your potential choices for your future CLL.   Just curious.

My understanding is that Dr. Mahboubian trained with Rozbruch.

I only have Dr. Mahboubian listed because it will be awesome to not leave california and have the external ll surgery here.I am going to edit my bio and take him off because I have made my decision to go to Dr. Pilli in Italy.
Dr. Paly, Rozbruch, Parihar, Pilli and Catagni are the best ll surgeons. If you could go to any of them, you should.

Hey man,
I'm monorail LON tibia patent.
There were days that it hurted like hell. There were days I almost cried. There were days I was so desperate that I thought even the dog at the street was happier than me.
But now 100 days after surgery, I can walk unaided 6,5 cm taller and have no pain.
Thank God, I did it.
Don't be afraid, the worst thing is not the pain. The worst thing is the thought of "not being able to walk again" "being crippled for the rest of your life". I'm absolutely sure that if someone could go to the future and see he is completely fine in 8-9 months the pain would be nothing for him.
