Quote from: DoctorGirl on March 23, 2015, 09:39:39 PMAnyway IML will not update this diary anymore. He says he has crooked legs now. Spiderman has also heard of horror stories from both Solomin and Bagirov. So IML is seeking alternative medical care in his country now (nailing and manual re-alignment). I will keep him in my prayers.

Oh my god
Hope he get well soon
then if i did tibia ,i would choose lon or latn

You can still get crooked legs with LON if the surgeon inserts the nail incorrectly.

crooked legs is just 1 issue


by some miracle, my right leg is ok

my left has frontal plane malalignment(knock knee)

sagittal plane(when viewed from the side) malalignment

consolidation location isnt aligned either... i forget 1 or 2 other things

ive heard a few  people say that knock knees or bow legs don't impact walking... i can tell you  for sure that they do, especially when combined with other deformities


i scheduled my correction surgery in nyc.... i suggest everyone that has an issue like this get it fixed asap, and not to wait

How would they correct your crooked legs? Any advice to IML?

ill go along with this... since i think its a real question


yes...  need to have legs corrected by a surgeon... i assume the bone isnt consolidated.... should be under the supervision of a trained orthopaedist, and one hat has had experiene with ilizarov

not hard to correct... even my case will take only 3 weeks to correct gradually... and could be  corrected acutely during the surgery

You mean the doctor can manipulate the bone during surgery? Eg, nail insertion?  Your frames are able to correct crookedness problem if there is no consolidation?
Its astonishing to see how this surgery can cause so many complications. I am deeply saddened by IML's complication and it is one big factor which stops me from doing this surgery. He is a bright athlete who has a ruined future cause of this.

yes... a trained dr can correct  during the surgery and keep it in place with a nail

frames should be able to correct if not consolidated

Edit Post

Thank you, you are very kind. I will tell him about it
How do you know the frame can correct most problems? What if it is an angulation problem? The frames seem too simple compared to Taylor Spatial Frame, for instance, or the typical six-pin Ilizarov frames :O

well... you're right

might need to get new frame on, instead of the bagirov frame... the bagirov frame is very primitive


 need a system like the tsf
