LL Nightmare in Barcelona

Quote from: notatroll on May 15, 2018, 08:57:06 PMMy joints are not the same as before. I'm so worried. This is a light of hope you give me. Thanks

Femur. Fitbone. Retrograde. i did 6.5 cm. I was 5'65. When I finished LL I was 5'9. I'm 5'8 or 5'85 now depending on the day. Rods removed recently but I lost height before this.

Many things were wrong. This deserves a long answer.
Is common that you loose height in nail removing surgery. Good that you chose antegrade way, becuase your knees could be way worse with antegrade insertion. I am surprised Monegal accepted to do retrograde insertion, he likes to do antegrade to avoid shaft fractures.

Why do you say that? Monegal always does retrogade (knee). I lost height before removal.

What do you mean? Do you want me to repeat? My friends got nerve damage, misalignment, fractures. One of them had more than 10 surgeries. One of them committed suicide. Do you want more details?

The doctor cares more about his EGO than his patients. He's reckless and he commits mistakes he never admits. He has no ethics. Do you want more details?

What else do you want to know?

Sorry I mean retrograde, that is the reason of knee pain, I think that the Lost in height is more the inaccuracy of the fitbone implant and q angle.

Probably inaccuracy but it's also strange I got 5'9 after and now 5'8 some days.

There can be a 2cm difference in morning and before bed height.

A 5'9 man will go to essentially 5'8 in a day, before bed.

I measured myself always same hour. I don't understand why I lost height.

I think he is a really good surgeon.he gets called In difficult cases of accidents to other hospitals in Germany to make the surgery because he is really that good. He is correcting also other LLers who had a bad outcome from other Dr from other countries.

Wish you the best

Dude, your Dr Betz is a third rate surgeon who cannot be trusted. Be careful.
