i have lengthened 1cm and i been advised to start lengthening 1.5mm / day to avoid fast consolidation. what do you guys think? thanks
before the surgery, how did your legs look like when you were standing?

yeah op should ask buldu for his pre surgery xrays to compare the bone curvature
but from where im standing those bones are misaligned
i thought the nail was inserted before the osteotomy not after as it looks like here
Unfortunately i do not have the x-rays before surgery at the moment , i have those , which are right after the surgery. https://ibb.co/6Y55zSP

Unfortunately my doctor is not very communicative and i’m getting information through some associates. Answer are always “everything is normal, don’t worry” , that’s why i came here for more answers and opinions.
It looks off to the untrained eye, but I've seen a lot of gaps like this and they're not always a problem. It's sometimes OK for them to be a little off.
it looks like there is a lot of place in your bones, maybe the holes were drilled to big? Or your bones inside is not strong enough

gee, i wonder which doctor that might be
OP, why dont you send your xrays to a few doctors emails to ask for opinion? i hear assayag is responsive through email so he might be one of them
Which Doctot are you mentioning? Just curious.
The only Doctors I see reguarly that have problem with over lenghtening patients is Guichet and the LiveLifeTaller team. Although seeing the X-rays ( looks very familiar to many people that suffered from complication ) I would say LiveLifeTaller.
what complications i should expect? im already pretty scared and thinking to remove the device at 3 or 4 cm to have less risks as possible. not to mention the pain im already going through.
i dont want to mention doctor’s name or company yet. i dont want to get more problems beside what i have now or less communication from his side.

rafi you need to ask your assistant for your presurgery xrays, they are your property, do not be scared of their bullying
have in mind that buldu’s employees are notorious for always using the “everything’s fine” like even when there are current ongoing serious complications
a user here named hasaki developed an infection during the first surgery and had daily discharge of thick white pus and they kept telling him “its fine its fine”
so now, you get your pre surgery xrays and then write emails to these doctors
1 assayag
2 giotikas
and politely ask them to take a look at your xrays and share their opinion and what can be done about it right now when youre still lengthening
if this ends up as bilateral misalignment + 4cm more of bone that would turn into femoral valgus deformity
or it coulr turn into nothing at all, but who’d want to take that chance
also, dont upload screenshots of your camera roll before cropping your xrays, we see your face down in the camera roll
