Every doctor has some complications but as far as I am aware Dr. Monegal has less than others. Notimportant, do you think that Monegal has had more than Paley, Rozbruch, Betz, Baumgart or Guichet.

There's a difference between complications and negligence. Complications can arise and have nothing to so with the doctors actions. Negligence is when a doctor in over his head causes the patient harm. So yes all the doctors you mentioned have had patients with complications, I think what people are saying is that Monegal is in over his head in this particular area of orthopedics. Try to understand the distinction.

I can't post the patients' xrays it's against the law.
Hellowrld you said about nail replacement no big problem but you said you had 3 surgeries for nail replacement. Additional surgeries mean more risks and possible long term complications
The nerve damage happened to a teenage guy. He wasn't doing 2 mm per day. He said it happened during surgery.
Soft tissues can be damaged during surgery too or for bad care after surgery.
6feetson thanks for your input.

Claudio doesn't have a university degree in Spain nor in South America nor in physiotherapist nor in sport science. He has literally nothing but a crapty certificate from a 6 month sport course, not university level and valid for nothing. Prove me he has a degree. One prospective patient who didn't get the surgery investigated and you can get the same qualification he has by doing a 2 days online course. The worst thing for me is the Doctor is recommending him instead of a true physiotherapist. Time will tell. One day he will fk a patient he will go to jail and I will publish this in the forum.

there are other patients with complications apart from Coper and you know it. Your friend Musicmaker for example is the worst case but there are many others, virtually nobody without complications.

Congratulations for the food. Food is the only good thing about the Spanish LL option. But I think he has bought your silence with that food all of you.

Notimportant, you are right.
But from the 2 additional operations, one was just taking out the sensor, located under the skin.

About long term complications : so far everything seems fine just that my left leg has less strength.

Today, I had my x-ray done and everything was fine, but the lengthened amount was less than expected. According to the clicks of Fitbone I should be at almost 8 cm as I have done close to 2500 clicks for each leg, but in reality I am only at 5,5 cm and in height gain this is about 5 cm.
I would like to do at least 1 cm more, but Auron and Musicmaker are telling me this would be bad for my proportions. What do you think?

How are you able to stand without crutches? Isn't fitbone just like precise unable to bear body weight?

 But you should stop as your tibs start to look short compared to thighs

Thanks for the advice Tibike.
The ratio tibia to femur is 0,72.
But that is the tibia length without the feet, and the femur lengthe measured from end to end and not to trochanter.

how are you able to stand?  Fitbone is not weight bearing right?

btw you seem to be in great shape even after lengthening!

Standing is not a problem for fitbone. You're not advised to walk unaided until you finish the lengthening phase though.

Dr. Monegal advised me so stand up already around 2 weeks after surgery.
Standing is no problem, the problem is walking, where for a split second you put all your weight on one leg.
