Hi Everyone,
So Regarding the fact that I am on a Certain Money Budget
& Even the Dr that i was looking into [ Dr Dimitrios/Athens] charges 23,000 Euro for the basic TSF method ! Like what ? This method is worth all that money ? Why?
So i Found a Doctor in Korea - His clinic is called New Born I think.
I dont know the prices yet or anything ?
Did anyone contact him before ?
I sent him an email but no response?
What do you guys think ? Would he charge less maybe than these other doctors ?
What do you think about Korea as a whole for limb lengthening ?
Other than that, My main question is *which method for less pain & scars*
I see ALOT of mixed contradicting reviews here, some people say LON is terrible and cause pain and scars while others praise it ? What about this TSF method is it a newer form of Ilizarov, i read that you wear the frame for 5 months for 6 cm , is that true ?
#My tibia is 35 cm while femur is 42 cm*
I dont want nonsense comments , if someone has something valuable to say comment on my question....
Yeah you’re right Sushi!
I just dont know what to do !
I searched all the doctors and cant find a single one.....
Someone’s either too expensive or non trust worthy thats why i thought korea may be a good choice, i am giving up my dreams on precice due to high cost but do you think i should go for LON or completely cancel the idea of ever getting taller ?
The truth is I wont ever make it to 50$k to afford the Precice , and i dont work i am a college student still, and right now i am in a very Free period of my life where i wil skip a semester and have about from now till August to do such procedure.....
and i wont get that chance again....
So i started thinking about LON vs TSF ?
But i just don’t understand how some people stay a year with the external frame and some stay 5 months only?
& do complications happen with external you mean ?
Yeah you’re so right.
But people in this forum encourage doing Pure External like its nothing, its cheap for a fact , its like should i do it better than nothing ? This TSF frame doesnt look as bad as the regular old Ilizarov.... & someone on this group talked about doing something called Synthes/Stryker which is some new external method , So should i go for those on my Tibias ? To also avoid knee oain by going all out nothing inside the bones .....
