Omg i can not believe he can not even do achilles tendon release properly. Where did Halil Buldu got his speciality license from? Slaughterhouse?
So sorry to hear your story man. If you can come to states i believe Dr Assayag or Dr Rozburch can help you out solve your issue. If its too expensive for you then you need to keep on searching.

Ballerina foot is one of the most common complications in LL surgery, so all LL surgeons must be able to handle it.
Normally, I would think that Halil should perform the surgery again, but if you cannot trust him anymore because he failed once, I understand your feelings well.

I'm not familiar with European doctors, but probably Giotikas would be able to handle it.

In addition to Achilles tendon lengthening surgery, there is a treatment method called Gastrocnemius Recession. I recommend consulting with a specialist about this option.

Also, since these surgeries are performed outside the field of LL as well, it might be a good idea to consult with a large orthopedic hospital nearby.

This why I tell people the safe limit for Tibias is 4.5 cm. People can do 6 cm, if that is their only surgery and they were very flexible, and if they don't go to someone who leaves bad outcomes on so many patients.

I looked at their site and their clinic specializes in feet, not legs.
They specialize in the area below the ankle joint. They probably do not treat Achilles tendons or gastrocnemius muscles.

Really very sad bro. But you can do tendon release surgery to fix it not with Dr halil baldu. Do it some where else with experience foot orthopedics doctors. This company is also making people fool to risk their life. Crippled company
