For anyone reading this thread if you have been crippled by the butcher Yuksel Yurttas:

Dr. Assayag is the doctor you need to see. Dr Assayag is one of the greatest LL specialist doctors, and will properly fix you up.

How did Dr. Giotikas explain correcting your Genu Valgum and procurvatum deformity without using TSF?

He said he would take the nail out, put blocking screws, and correct it from there! It was unsuccessful and he also claimed my right leg didn’t have an issue! (Which I later found it does as well)

As you can see from my x-rays he only tried correcting my left leg because of that! (And charged me for both!!!) (Only my left leg has blocking screws)

Although my main issue is with the butcher Yuksel Yurttas, I don’t think that even Dr Giotikas has a clue about deformity principles, because even a junior doctor wouldn’t make those mistakes!

Another patient on this forum had the same issue with procurvatum and tried to get it fixed with Dr Giotikas, and it was unsuccessful. I wish I had seen his post before I went to Giotikas!

I was wondering why blocking screws are only used for the left tibia, and your explanation made it clear.
In my opinion, I think it should be possible for a skilled surgeon to perform deformity correction using nail changes and blocking screws, but it seems that Giotikas had difficulty with this.
Please take care.

Sure, it’s the third and seventh reply:

“Doctor Giotikas said that TSF frames were not necessary, he would fix it with corrective surgery. It turns out that this was not true. If Doctor Giotikas had delivered what he promised, I would be satisfied. But he didn't.“

Skilled surgeons can correct procurvatum deformity (of course depends on how much procurvatum you have) with internal nails (very well known surgeons told me this).

Good luck, hope you'll find the right surgeon who can help you.

Procurvatum can only be corrected (when the bone is healed) with a TSF frame gradually. The reason is because of the nerves around the tibia.

You can lose the sensation of your feet (nerve damage) if you do an acute correction with a nail or a plate! This is due to where the nerves are around your tibia. If it is corrected acutely, then the nerves around the tibia are pinched. There is no guarantee that there won’t be nerve damage!

This is what the butcher Yuksel Yurttas has done to me. I will get this fixed with an American doctor but it’s so sickening how these Turkish butchers lie, cheat, and scam their way out of situations.

Yuksel Yurttas is a criminal doctor, constantly crippling patients, giving them bone infections, and refuses to take responsibility. Do not trust your legs with these Turkish butchers. Yuksel Yurttas is probably the worst doctor in Turkey!
