Internal or External Methods

Edit Post

Which one is safer as far as infections are concerned? External is uncomfortable, but maybe the chance of infections is less? Also femur or tibia for external methods?

Thank you. Also I read blood clots are more common with tibia than femur? Will tibia surgery cause the knee issues, or the femur extensions?

Have no idea. I have spent a lot of money on medical tests, GH, Lupron. After doing some research found that tibia will work for me. What would be the reasonable price? There is one doctor in la close to us, Mahboudian very expensive. With that price I can go to Germany. The question is should I do both femur and tibia. I think moneywise I will not be able to afford both ops.Any suggestions?

For my both kids.

Good to know. How about Betz! Reading the report he is not bad! Depending what method to use! My son's tibias are shorter than femur. Originally I was thinking about femur lengthening, now since I measured should be tibia. I read about blood clots possibly after tibia!

Because I know later on he is going to have problems. I know from my personal experience. He is only 15. If his peers start passing him in height, one day he will ask if he is going to be tall. I would say no, it is too late. Especially for men this is important.

I don't think dr M. is cheap though. With that price you could do the same operation overseas. He also does not have that much of an experience. Internal precice is 75,000.

Thank you so much for the info. Safety comes first. If I am going to do this, then rather pay more not to compromise with health and safety. I will do a lot research again, before we do it. All of you guys are great support. thank you.

You are correct. I am going to wait. He might still grow some. Also I need to save money before I can do it. We will see. Who knows by then maybe new techniques may be discovered.
