How much do you trust Armenia? Yereven center of limb lengthening and reconstru

Edit Post

I don’t think Armenia is a well developed country, I’ve never really heard about it, it’s right next to turkey I think. I really probably wouldn’t take the risk. wish US prices were like this
Pretty sure latn included the external on tibia but I replied asking just to make sure

“Hello,

Let's firstly discuss the height increase by 10 cm (5cm on tibias, 5cm on femurs), then we'll take 11 cm into consideration as well.
Besides medical service we also organize accommodation one for our patients.

10 cm cross-lateral tibia-femur lengthening (CLTFL) by the classical Ilizarov method  will take 12 months and cost $ 37,600 ($ 22,000 for medical expenses, $15,600 - accommodation one). Between the two stages of lengthening, a period of rehabilitation is necessary, which usually lasts one to three months. During the rehabilitation period you can stay in Armenia or go back home.

If you have shortage of time we can offer you height increase for 10 cm by lengthening over the nail (LON) method or lengthening and then nailing (LATN) method. It will take 5.5 months and cost $ 41,150 ($ 34,000 for medical expenses, $7,150 - accommodation one). .

The mentioned prices cover all medical expenses, including pre-surgical clinical and radiological examinations, surgeries, one hour of  training with the physical therapist every day (6 days a week), up to 7 days at hospital after each surgery, transportation from and to hospital, and accommodation expenses ($1,300 per month), including staying at a comfortable apartment with care, 3 meals/day, cleaning, laundering, etc.

After frames removal we recommend that patients reduce physical activity for 1-2 months (wheelchair, walker, crutches) but after 3 months no limitation is required, including things like  running, contact sports, etc. 

Nails removal is not mentioned in the price. Nails should be removed in 6-12 months after the lengthening when bone consolidation is completed according to radiological examination. 

If you have any question, please feel free ask us.”
