Quote from: Activatedxx on October 01, 2021, 05:36:23 PMI am able to fully extend, since about 4 weeks ago^ . You’re right about the physio, it was very hard to get it straight and painful

https://imgur.com/a/J7RsE67

my gait has improved a lot since this video, I will post in couple weeks for 5 month mark, but yeah would be better without complication. My left leg is playing catch up

With internal I wouldn’t be able to walk until 6-7 months unassisted
I still would have chosen it over Lon femur anyway but, it’s too late now lol

Glad to hear that you are getting better, you are almost done now anyway! Thank you for sharing.

I believe I would’ve been already normal had it not been for left leg complication. My left leg is catching up, right side feels much stronger

I am making this post mainly because it wasn’t all in my diary.

I want to start by saying halil buldu is a nice caring guy, but there is immorality in his practice, by him doing 3-4 operations per day and hiring an a $$wipe as his medical team manager.

This guy sedat keeps spamming me nonstop because of what I wrote in my diary that was just what I experienced, so I’m going to go into detail and give him something to spam about.

Buldu does a ton of operations per day. No matter how experienced someone is, I believe your focus and cognition dulls and wears away after doing hours of surgery ( my fixator removal started at 8:30pm on a Sunday after 3 others ).

https://imgur.com/a/66gMQHC this is my first X-ray after 2 weeks after hospital discharge
If you look at the post the left leg nail is moving down when lengthening instead of up. Compare it to the right nail. This is very bad if left untreated, because the screws and pins will break out and split the bone vertically like this ( this is my actual bone side view ) https://imgur.com/gallery/DAd8bqm

They are so busy and have so many patients  that they told me my X-ray is fine. Dr. Taylor Reif ( I had a consultation with, he is rozbruchs partner doctor) told me this should’ve been corrected from the first X-ray and might have prevented the bone splitting vertically, but it wasn’t corrected until the damage was already done.

Besides from that, if you don’t buy the package Sedat treats you like crap. My wife refers to him as “package guy” because every time I ask him for something he try’s to sell me a package. Like here for example https://imgur.com/a/L8v5oNi
I asked him for a ride from a pharmacy across the street, because it started raining heavily and no taxis available. He told me everyone was busy in voice message. I asked one of the staff members directly and he told me he didn’t have anything he was doing and came and got me. Getting in the car my bandages got wet. I asked for a bandage change and his reply is “ we must talk about package price ? “ what a sleezeball
Another time I asked for X-rays and told him DONT schedule the xrays until you give me a price. X-ray guy shows up and ends up trying to charge me 600$ usd for 4 X-rays (which is hilariously more than USA prices in a country where X-rays are 30-40$ Bucks a piece).

My worst experience is when I had an infection and he refused to give me antibiotics and ignored me. I mean it wasn’t terrible because Buldu ended up giving them to me right away when I asked him directly but look at how this guy ignores a patient in need of help https://imgur.com/a/mdRT9xE


Some people like perfectbody/fivesomething didn’t have issues and had a good recovery, and I’m not saying it’s common. But I feel it’s only right to say that there are far more people that have complications and they don’t post it on here or are scared from the medical team.

They actually posted a patients before/after photo. This patient had TWO complications and they wrote “dreams come true” yeah, right. After a f*cking nightmare.
His first complication was same as mine and the second was pin bending. Below pic he sent me
https://imgur.com/a/lo79Pgp

It required two extra surgeries. Plus the initial and removal for a total of 4 surgeries and 4 months with fixators on.
Another person i know had 2 extra surgeries also.


Sedat makes up this story of how I fell down stairs to blame my complication on me
And to protect their image when what really happened was I had stepped down with my left leg, I started stepping down with the right and lost balance because it was a big step and I had to cling to the wall and my wife because there was not a handrail and I put all my weight on the other leg in a bending position. No way someone my weight (125 pounds) could have damaged a fixator system that holds Perfectbody/fivesomething weight (they are 170-200pounds). I would get it if it was a bent nail or broken screw issue or something else, but a nail can’t be pushed down instantly. It happened over the lengthening period, due to not proper reaming and the bone alignment when broken according to Dr. reifs opinion. Also to add, this wasn’t on stairs, it was a single step outside the elevator in my Airbnb.

it’s fine if you don’t want to take my word for it because of the incident, but realize same exact thing happened to others who did not have any incident. This has happened to multiple people and no one speaks out. I feel like it is my duty to share this because if I knew of the complications like these beforehand I would have changed my direction. Again, some people had no issues. In my opinion even 85-90% success rate is low in a medical practice. That is just a guess, out of the 30 something people I met during my experience I know of 5 that required extra complication surgery

Anytime something happens they try to sweep it under the rug

Personally I know it was their fault due to signs during lengthening that the nail was failing. One example (this is in my diary and I wrote this before I know I had any issue) was that I kept getting bone clicking in my right leg only but never in my left leg. Bone clicking is when the rod vibrates/hits the inside of your femur because it’s not locked at the bottom until fixator removal. It’s not painful just very uncomfortable.  It started on day 2-3 of lengthening in my right leg but never felt it on my left leg (because the nail was stuck at the distal/bottom part).

Currently I’m recovering but due to the complication my left leg is much weaker and is hindering my recovery. My Usa orthopedic does not want me to walk unassisted on it much and worries the hardware can fail/screws back out or break. I have to wait for bone to consolidate more until I can exert prolonged force like walking and going up stairs. https://imgur.com/gallery/oaZC5em

Mentally going through complications is the worst feeling in the world. Many won’t understand unless it actually happens to you. It was mentally one of the hardest moments

It’s important knowledge for those considering Buldu

I’m not necessarily trying to deter anyone. I just want them to know of the dirt they sweep under the rug. I feel everyone has a right to know and then they can make a choice to use them or not

It’s not fair that many people will never know of any other patient gone wrong experiences because they are never posted/spoken about

If you want to use them after reading my diary go for it, but at least you have seen the full picture

I removed fixator august 8th. Only time I was in hospital was initial Op/complication surgery/removal surgery

I can walk pain free but as stated my USA ortho doesn’t want me to risk it because of my left leg which had the complication
Also my left leg is much weaker than my right
My recovery would be much better and easier if nail didn’t fail in that leg

Yes you shared very important information for future LLrs . First of all any good surgeon will never do external  on femur.
Your story is eye opening for them who are completely dependent on Third party ( Marketing company) and trust them blindly , These companies are just money hungry, even Dr Halil Baldu is not pure he knows very well what he is doing just for money you can't separate him from this business.
Some fools  trust them blindly and post only good things even they are fkd up . like Meck.
I am trying to expose these agents but they are abusing me .
