Yeah which likely makes things worse. His surgical technique is so poor, if I had let him try to fix my ankles instead of going home to have it done in Los Angeles he probably would have made it even worse. He shouldn’t be operating on anyone. For any reason.
Tibias is much harder to make it, even a good surgeon could be face some complication on this segment, femur is more easy to make it, even bad surgeon make it pretty decent, the major errors are infections, muscle cramp( little physiotherapy) or nerve pain( many caused by overdistration).
I know I’m not going to convince you at this point, I get it. The height dysphoria is so bad you’ll do anything to make it stop. I was there myself.
What I’m saying though is that Halil literally just removed screws he should have left in, and because of that I’ve been unable to walk for over a year. It’s not that he made some minor mistake that all surgeons make sometimes.
He did something completely idiotic and insane that basically crippled me, requiring two reconstructive surgeries. And then refused to apologize or admit he was wrong.
I mean if you’re at the edge mentally and it’s either limb lengthening or jumping off a building, I get it. I don’t miss being 168 cm. Being 180 is nice. But understand these guys are psychopaths. They don’t care about you. They don’t care about your health. When you’re there they’ll pretend to be your best friend. They’re very charming. They try to make you feel like part of their family or something. That all happened with me. All smiles and hugs.
But as soon as something goes wrong and you confront them about it, they’ll just block you and forget about you. It’s all a lie.
They don’t care I’ve been on crutches for an entire year, lost a years worth of work because I drive for a living. They don’t care I can’t walk.
The most insane thing is since I’ve been there they’ve raised prices even more, so it’s not even that affordable anymore. You could just save money for a few more years and go to Greece or somewhere safer.
You’ve been warned.

What exactly is wrong with your ankles? I'm trying to search your condition up on Google but it's full of medical terms and it's hard to completely understand. Thanks for responding btw.

There’s these screws used in tibia lengthening called syndesmotic screws that hold the tibia and fibula together at your ankle when lengthening. The screws need to be left in place during the recovery process, ideally until nail removal a year later, or the tibia and fibula move apart and create what’s called a tibiofibular subluxation, a type of dislocation.
It’s very subtle in the early stages, when the doctor pointed it out on the X-ray I didn’t even see it at first. There wasn’t really any significant pain either, so it was very much a surprise.
It’s the kind of thing that in the early stages is not noticeable. You could come home from lengthening, feel fine, start to walk again, go back to normal life etc.
But eventually the bones will gradually move further apart, destabilizing the ankle more and more. When there is a subluxation of the tibia and fibula, even if it’s microscopic, like only a few millimeters between each bone, the ankle is not anatomically stable.
If you were to ignore it completely, eventually your ankle would completely stop working. The ligaments, tendons and nerves would be pulled in unnatural ways, well beyond their design. Chronic inflammation from the subluxation eventually causes swelling of the joint, increased fluid in the joints, cartilage damage, bone damage, muscle atrophy. Because the main ankle “joint” where the tibia and fibula connect becomes too loose and everything is stretched, stressed, and eventually torn.
The reconstructive surgery is a lot like an ankle fracture repair. They basically replace the syndesmotic screws that Halil took out prematurely. There’s pictures of the repair in my first post.
The surgery is pretty simple as far as ankle surgeries go, but the recovery process is long. No weight bearing for six weeks and then it takes at least six months to stop hurting and feel normal. I opted to do one ankle at a time so I could weight bear on one leg and not be wheelchair bound.
My left ankle is good now but my right is taking longer because the hardware put in is more extensive because he had to also correct the valgus deformity in the tibia created by Halil. So instead of just a few screws like the left ankle, there’s a huge metal plate and a bunch of small screws going directly into the lateral malleolus. It’s been almost five months since the right ankle surgery and I’m still on crutches. Technically I can “fully weight bear” but it doesn’t mean I can really walk. Everything is too swollen and tender still. I hope by Christmas I’ll be off then for good and back to my life.
He’s such an incompetent sick bastard. I’m lucky I didn’t get osteomyelitis like a lot of LLT patients but even small complications like mine can wreck your life for a year or more.

Turkey is the biggest sh*thole for LL nowadays as was India before one decade.
Only a fool would trust his feet on the turkish butchers, especially after.all.these horror stories that are written here.

Thank you for responding. I think the fibula is kind of bent near the end and so that's what's called tibiofibular subluxation? Is this the problem?
https://ibb.co/N2pdp0Z
Sort of, the bend is caused by stress from the bones moving apart at the ankle joint, it creates widespread instability. It’s difficult to “see” the subluxation at the tibiofibular joint unless you’re an experienced orthopedic surgeon or radiologist, the bones at the joint are millimeters out of place, but it’s enough to make the whole thing anatomically unstable.
