21 Male , Indian
Original Height- 174 cm
Current Height- 183 cm
I had my Surgery in May 2015 with Dr Deepak Raina in Indian Spinal Injuries Center.The Procedure was LATIN (Tibial Lengthening using Monorail Fixator and IM Nailing after the lengthening phase was over).I Gained 9 cm (90 mm) in 108 Days.
Since, I had Plantar Fasciitis (Ballerina) about 6 cm , I Underwent Percutaneous Achilles Tendon Lengthening (They made 3 small Cuts on Tendon) along with the IM Nailing Surgery Simultaneously. I was able to Walk unaided 2 Weeks Later, which was Remarkable Considering my Lengthening (9 cm) and Severe Ballerina.(All Thanks to the Tendon Lengthening)
During the Lengthening Phase i wasn't able to Walk unaided without the Walker since my Lengthening was Quite fast (0.833 mm/Per Day) and I had Weak Quadriceps to Begin with , Moreover I developed severe Ballerina (6 cm) which made it very Difficult to Walk.
The Pain was Excruciating(Muscle,Nerve,Bone,Post Dural Puncture Headache) , Especially for the First Week after every Surgery but Considering the End Results it was all Worth it .
Dr Deepak and his Team were Great,and very Considerate.I had a very Candid Conversation with him about my Expenses since i was on a very Tight Budget.They Planned the Lengthening Process Right from the Start,So i could achieve my Goal without any Major Obstacles and any Unnecessary Expenses.He does not Prefer doing Cosmetic Procedures and the only reason he agreed to do mine was because He did not want me to get my Legs Broken by some Inexperienced Money Hungry Doctor.
FYI , The Total Cost was $6000 Approx(This Included the Initial Surgery to put the Monorail Fixator ,The Second Surgery to add Additional Pins and the Final Surgery to remove the Fixator , Insert the IM Nails and Lengthen the Tendon).I stayed in the Ward.It will go up by 30% to 50% Depending on which Room you want.
