Hi everyone, I'm considering limb lengthening in Turkey and was wondering how much it costs per cm with the newest Precice nail techniques. Can anyone share their experience or provide some insight?
Limb lengthening in Turkey costs how much per cm with newest Precice nail techniques
Related Medical Evidence Peer-Reviewed
Honestly, the cost varies depending on the clinic and the doctor, but I paid around $1,200 per cm with the Precice nail in Turkey. The total cost for my 6 cm lengthening was $7,200. The pain during the first 2 weeks was brutal, but it was worth it in the end.
I'm not sure if it's worth the risk of non-union or infection. I read that the Precice nail has a higher failure rate compared to other methods. Has anyone experienced any complications with this technique?
Distraction Osteogenesis with Precice Nail: A Review of the Literature
From my analysis of the medical literature, distraction osteogenesis using the Precice nail is a reliable method for limb lengthening, with a success rate of over 90%. The osteotomy and callus formation phases are critical for successful bone regeneration. However, premature consolidation and non-union are potential complications that can be mitigated with proper distraction osteogenesis protocols and radiographic monitoring.
- The average cost per cm of lengthening with the Precice nail is around $1,000-$1,500.
- The overall treatment time for a 6 cm lengthening is approximately 10-12 months.
- Patients should be aware of the potential risks and complications, including pin-site infection, nerve damage, and premature consolidation.
I agree with @LimbLengtheningWarrior, the pain during the first 2 weeks is brutal, but it's worth it in the end. I'm considering going to Turkey for the procedure and would love to hear more about the clinics and doctors that @HeightHunter22 and @LimbLengtheningWarrior used.
I've had experience with several limb lengthening techniques, including the Precice nail. While it's a great method, I think the Ilizarov technique is still the gold standard for limb lengthening. The key is to find a experienced doctor who can customize the treatment plan to your individual needs.
I've been researching the Precice nail for months, and I'm convinced it's the best method for me. I'm planning to go to Turkey next month for the procedure and would love to connect with @HeightHunter22 and @LimbLengtheningWarrior to discuss their experiences in more detail.
I've had a different experience with the Stryde nail, which is similar to the Precice nail. While it's a great method, I think the key to success is finding a doctor who is experienced with the technique and can provide proper aftercare. I'd love to discuss my experience with @SkepticalSarah and @BoneGuru88.
