I underwent CLL surgery with Dr. Donghoon Lee

Hi everyone,

My English is not good but I'll share my LON journey with you all!

Hiii, tell us about the hospital, the staff and most importantly the Dr himself and his after care?

I'm very interested in this. Did you met any Lee patient who did femurs?

Hey!  I was actually watching a lot of his videos of his patients walking after CLL.  What do you think?  Idk but I feel like his patients are a bit dangly or bouncey when they walk.  It's a bit concerning to me but I would like to know your opinion.

Could you put here the links of walking videos you are talking about

The one-segment PO walking seems pretty good.  The quadrilateral ones though seem a bit "hoppy" I guess, meaning they tend to move too much vertically when walking.  I think a lot of them have some tightness in the calves, which is almost like a stiffer spring, which causes the vertical recoil when they lift their feet off the ground.  I'm trying to do quad, but I think the safest way to go is a very conservative amount on the tibias and more on the femurs (3cm T + 5.5/6cm F).  I feel like tibias in general affect walking more than femurs.  I also question whether Dr. Donghoon has patients wear a splint to prevent equinus.

Sorry for some reason I can't share the video link.  Just go on youtube and search up "Dr. Donghoon leg lengthening" and you should be able to see all his videos.  His profile logo is a lizard.

I find this but it’s bilateral
After around 1:30 you see patient running jumping
Going up and down stairs

One patient femur and tibia progress comparison
7 months post op and 9 months post op look still hip joints and ankles are stiff
Still it’s quite fast recovery for quadrilateral and the last shoot  18 months post op look quite a normal gait
