What is this supposed to mean, you fool? Don't take him seriously guys. He's been spamming bullsh*t all over the threads. He's mentally spoiled. he should be banned IMO.

Yeah, I noticed him just commenting negative on everyone’s posts in turkey.
Their are definitely some flaws, that could be fixed, but it’s been decent especially for the amount I paid. I definitely could not ever push myself to do something like this again unless it’s internal nail later down the road, but even though the method I have is uncomfortable and boring, at least I didn’t have to dump my entire savings like if I had done stryde in the USA

Quick update

 Most comfortable bed I’ve had so far, but I haven’t been getting a good nights rest since I got my pinsite infection. It gets considerably worse at night, but today they prescribed me oral antibiotics and it feels 50% better, but not fully healed. It should be in 2-3 days right before my flight back home. if you have this surgery done your top concern after week one/two should be preventing pinsite from getting infected, because it is easy to infect (especially because when you sit on the toilet it’s only an inch from bandages) and its the only thing at the moment that causes me more than 1-2/10 pain at rest (without pain medicine except aspirin for my pinsite inflammation) hopefully once it’s resolved it will be smooth sailing, I don’t have much to complain about except discomfort at the moment, even if I can’t get in a comfortable position I’m not in pain most of the day. I could have saved myself a week+ of constant suffering from pinsite infection pain had I been more careful or stayed around the area so they can change bandages for me, i mistook it for lengthening pain since there was no discharge or physically noticeable symptons besides color/texture change to the skin around the pin.
The site will feel hot and swell up
I copied how they change bandages and double gauze wrap/soak site with antibacterial, so hopefully I won’t get anymore pinsite troubles. Before I didn’t double wrap the gauze pads and that is extremely important.


Had a physical therapy session with another patient yesterday. Therapist said I have 145 degree knee ROM (full range of motion) but before surgery my heels would touch butt, so my knee bending still has some way to go, probably will be like Pre-OP when fixators come off. I feel like my journey actually started now that I’m 3cm mark, at the surgery and first month you don’t notice a difference until 1’ inch, so once you hit 1’ it’s where you actually start feeling a new height and in the weeks that follow.


Many patients I meet here do 1.25mm a day, and some 1.5mm+, I’ve always known 1mm should be max but there are certain techniques and exercises that make it copeable. I met a German guy that does 1.75mm a day and I guess he spends like a few hours exercising/stretching per day, he is due for fixator removal in few days for 8cm, but personally I’m sticking at 1mm or 1.25mm maximum, don’t want to risk permanent nerve damage

Kind regards

Do you know if it is OK to use the disinfectans chlorhexidine for ~1 year when you have to wear exfix in tibia for about 1 year?

They have a very good disinfectant called botiqon or something that we use. It’s a maroon colored liquid that dries up the site and prevents any discharge and infection. After you clean and bandage you can use alcohol or whatever you prefer for your skin, as long as it doesn’t get on bandage or wet the bandage only the area around it

Correct me if I'm wrong. As I understand you will travel home and lengthen the rest of your lengthening. Have you thought about stay at the hotel instead where you have the "buldu team" near you and finish your lengthening there and travel home when you have your fixator removed. Wish you the best

My wife is returning for college and her birthday, so I could but it would be 45-50 days alone by myself, which I don’t think I could do mentally or I would end up quitting early of my goal. I will be more comfortable at home and have my family as a support system. I will figure out the rest later, such as returning for fixator removal. It would be better to stay for sure, but I don’t have the substance to do it at the moment, I’m already drained mentally, physically, and emotionally - to stay by myself alone for another 7 weeks is more than I can carry


took my X-rays today. I reached left femur 30.1mm and right 30.5mm
Have not received the X-ray photos yet, I just went over them with the X-ray tech earlier. When I get I will upload them to Imgur.
