Hi everyone, I'm considering limb lengthening surgery in London and I'm trying to decide between GP clinics and private hospitals. Has anyone had experience with either option? Which one is cheaper?
I had my limb lengthening surgery at a private hospital in London. The pain was manageable, but the rehab was tough. I'm happy with the results, though!
I'm not sure it's worth the risk. I've heard of people experiencing non-union, nerve damage, and other complications. Has anyone looked into the success rates of these procedures in London?
Distraction Osteogenesis and the Role of the Periosteum
The process of distraction osteogenesis involves the formation of new bone tissue through the distraction of existing bone, with the periosteum playing a crucial role in providing a source of osteoblasts and osteoclasts that contribute to bone remodeling.
The consolidation phase is characterized by the formation of a bony callus, which is then replaced by lamellar bone. The success rates of limb lengthening surgery vary depending on the procedure, surgeon, and hospital, but generally, tibial lengthening has a higher success rate than femoral lengthening.
The risks associated with limb lengthening surgery include non-union, nerve damage, and other complications. It is essential to carefully consider these risks and benefits before undergoing surgery.
In terms of cost, the prices of limb lengthening surgery can vary widely depending on the hospital, surgeon, and procedure. While GP clinics may offer more affordable options, it is crucial to prioritize the expertise and facilities of a hospital and an experienced orthopedic surgeon.
Hey LondonLL, I've been doing some research and it seems that private hospitals in London offer more expertise and better facilities for limb lengthening surgery. However, the cost can vary widely depending on the hospital and surgeon.
I agree with FemurFan23, the rehab was tough, but the results are worth it. I've also heard that some private hospitals in London offer package deals that include physiotherapy and aftercare, which might be worth considering.
Actually, I've found that some private hospitals in London are now offering limb lengthening surgery at competitive prices. It's worth shopping around and getting quotes from different hospitals to compare prices and services.
