Yeah it’s possible to leave everything but would cause issues down the road. Screws aren’t made to support your body weight for years. Always better to take out asap as it becomes almost impossible to take out the nails after a certain time. Usually after 24 months I think I read
Your walking looks great man. Your proportions also looks phenomenal.
Thanks a lot for coming back to share with us. I appreciate it a lot.
Thanks for updating your diary. You are inspiring to many people who wants to get this done.
Updating of walking video please
Hey guys, been busy with life sorry for the late Update. I just got my X-rays today. Been about a year since my last ones. Waiting on doctor to review them. I can’t tell if I’m ready for removal based on the X-rays. My left femur healed oddly looking due to the second break from the hardware failing during distraction. If anyone can review and give me an educated opinion till I see my USA doctor. I’ve attached them to post

Edit* attached here ^
Really just want to get rid of these rods and screws and be over with. Hopefully it’s healed sufficient for removal. Z and anyone else I was in WhatsApp chat with feel free to message me on here, I lost access since I changed my number.
Anyone considering buldu or LLT should know they blackmail and try to cover any negative results. For each person that speaks up there are a dozen more that had a bad experience but are too scared to speak up or tell anyone. From personal experience I would say they have like a 70% success rate, with the remainder percent needing another corrective surgery like me or multiple ones. And then another portion of that have serious complications or permanent ones.
My case wasn’t bad compared to some others. One of my friends I met while there needed 3 corrective surgeries on one leg.
Some of them are the patients fault partly, or some do everything right and still have failure.
They let patients lengthen 1.5mm a day, smoke cigs, etc. even if it’s a patients choice as a doctor you shouldn’t allow it. Some of the patients who have failures did everything right and avoided any bad choices but still get screwed like me for example. Make the right choice and choose a better doctor for this procedure. Even if you cannot afford go to someone more reputable like parihar or Giotikas IMO.
I can walk long distance fine, walking looks normal. my running is funny but I can run short distance until the screw sites irritate me. My recovery is taking longer due to the complication but I have faith it will be a huge leap with a successful removal. I can’t really do anything strenuous because of these rods and screws. Once they’re out I plan to push myself to the max. I know there is some loss physically due to this surgery but I know I can do way better with the hardware out so that it can’t limit me. I can feel force on the screws and rod when I run or lift weights. My Range of motion is normal range but I am not close to being as flexible pre surgery, I don’t think it’s possible with an extra 8cm.
Any video of your walk? Would be highly appreciated!
Will you continue to update?
Thanks for posting the picture. It's obvious you're having surgery. Unfortunately, fake diaries are more prominent in this forum. I love honest diaries like you and we learn a lot from you. Please keep updating.
