Leg lengthening in Turkey with Dr.Serkan Gurcan

Edit Post

Update:

I've had a bit of pain in the night on the 13th March. I lengthened 0.75 instead of 1mm yesterday and everything went back to normal

For some reasons I tend to sleep 9-10 hours in these fixators. I do not know why, Im not normally a huge sleeper .. I also don't/barely have any sort of pain and I have not taken a single pain killer since my hospital discharge, some days I walk a lot and some days I walk very little but its my main form of pysiotherapy.

Right now at 3.3mm I have 0 signs of ballerina or know about anything weird with my body. Feeling very blessed that LL has been such a huge breeze for me.

I have almost reached my halfway goal. The final is 7cm!

you need to know that with monorails you could get misalignament , and it cant be corrected, so if that happens you will need to stop the lengthening

How is it going? I am thinking of using this surgery.
Is the leg lengthening difficult?
You mentioned cleaning pin sites what does this involve?

Wish you all the best
You've just broadened ller's cognization cuz there are really extremely few diaries about Turkey surgeries

Hi man, how much did you pay for the surgery?

hi man, congrats on your journey! I wanted to ask how did you feel with those fixators since there are other surgeons do not prefer these ones. But i talked to a patient from wannabetaller team before and he said these are ligther and more handy etc. But also i have never seen that many pins in this type of fixators either. Why your surgeons put a few more he has explained that ? (Sorry if this was asked before, i couldn't check through all the chat history)
