LON Femur - broken bones not straight

rafi you should have laughed at that physiotherapist in his face when he said that

it doesnt cost you anything to write emails to a bunch of LL docs and ask for this misalignment issue. Visually there is misalignment, its plain as day. You want to avoid misalignment because it would lead to X-legs which is very unsightly and can lead to early arthritis. Do not take the word of the doctor at face value, yes, he might not be purposely misleading you but in the end of the day you see your xrays, we see your xrays, it looks misaligned

and yes, software measures your distance. what is worrying you about this? If you need a SUPER precise measurement you need a lower body CT Scan which will measure to tenth of a millimeter

I agree, boklecrt on LL Forums knows more than an qualified physiotherapist. Make sure to laugh at every doctor and physiotherapist, and only get your advice from members on this forum.

Nice strawman argument you got there buddy boyo(actually you might not know what a strawman argument is, do google it), you only comment on buldu diaries, such an obvious livelifetaller bot

But lets investigate

So rafi went to our favorite turkish mutilator, the one and only halil buldu and got this:



While his xrays should've shown this(Paley result):




So now, the physiotherapist says

Quote from: rafi2296 on August 25, 2022, 09:57:57 AMI also asked another physiotherapist who told me that my bones will realign once i will start to gain muscles back on my legs.

So, when a bone such as the femur has a 30 cm long metal rod as thick as a finger hammered in it from top to bottom and secured with 4 screws on both ends, how exactly are the bones going to "realign themselves" when the patient gains leg muscles? dont worry, its a rhetorical question

rafi, so if this misalignment turns into an X legs situation this will happen:




it will most certainly require corrective surgery, after at least 1 year and a half because the gap has to consolidate first and then they will remove the intramedullary nail, rebreak the bone, realign the bone, put a plate on it(15 cm-20 cm scar down both sides of legs), then you will be on crutches while that heals

Interesting. Anyone who doesn't follow your position is a Buldu bot. 

Tell me where Buldu touched you on this bear.

I'm just pointing out how immature you are. I hope he doesn't require surgery or get further complications, but it's too early to tell. Wouldn't you agree?

I don't like sarcasm, but if he has a misalignment. I think it is an O leg, not an X leg.
 Femoral lengthening surgery rarely causes x-legs.

the physiotherapist i asked has nothing to do with my doctor or  LL company so he has no reasons to lie in their favour. he seems very professional and honest.  his point of view is, that now as i’m very stiff and i lost muscle on legs and back, is early to say if my bones will stay like this. being less stiff after device removal and gaining muscles back  might drag my bones back in place.


right after frame removal i will try those orthopaedic correctors and check might x-rays regularly. seems to be effective for people with “x / o legs” so i have high hopes for me as my bones will be in consolidation phase so easier to correct . *hopefully*

(someone teach me how do i add pictures in post please)

If you know any email of doctors that might reply please add them below, i will write them and be back with their opinion. i wrote to doctor Donghoon but no reply, and Dr. Usual , who told me that as per current x-rays , i didn’t had the best osteotomy but is nothing to be concerned about.

thank you everyone for taking your time to reply on my post

look at how the external fixator is pulling on the bones. its pushing the knees together - imminent knocked knees/x legs

rafi nothing is going to pull any bones back to straight because you have a stainless steel rod inside of the usually flexible femur. a long bone - femur, tibia, fibula, they are flexible in order to accommodate physical stress without breaking outright, but now that there is a nail to hold it in place while it calcifies, nothing will pull it back to normal

you upload images from the website turboimagehost like this:

 


so about these straps and braces, do not use this, this is again some nonsense figured out by chinese autists

this contraption will only put unnecessary force on the knee joint. look at how complex a knee joint is:

 

if you wear this strap on your legs you will just put force on one side of this extremely complex and delicate joint, deform it and move it out of its natural balance. this is the fast track to early arthritis and chronic knee pain. you really dont want to fk with your joints. fixing deformed bones is easy, fixing destroyed joints is not

The internal nail is only attached at one end.  It's not holding anyhing in place now.
