Before the surgery, my doctor said that the femur and tibia bone are equal to each other.  So I don't think the ratio will make much difference.

You can check out the simple proportion calculator I made:

Day 17:

Lengthened: 0,8 cm
(+/- may vary)

In this process, pay attention to your daily water consumption.  for plenty of water.

 I was continuing the lengthening. without a break.
 I have no pain in my right foot.
 Although my left leg is flexible, I have occasional pain (pain 2/10).
 A little stubborn about the pain in my left leg. 
I could not sleep at night.  I took painkillers (paracetamol)

 Interestingly, the pain in my left leg is below the knee (tibia) or so I think.
 The pain comes and goes for seconds, it keeps repeating.  like a cramp.

 During the lengthening period, the pain points may be different day by day.

 Everyone knows that lengthening surgery is very difficult not to be painless at all.
 Body, muscles etc.  he is tense, struggling and trying to adapt to the new situation.

 All this is normal, everyone who had surgery experienced it..

 Be patient for the happy ending and do not break your psychology.

Note: I write days late sometimes.

Vitamin D
Vitamin B1 + B6 + B12
Aspirin
Antibiotic
Antibiotic - Rifamycin (for wound dressing - liquid)
Tramadol 50mg (to be drunk if there is a lot of pain)

If the wounds become infected, antibiotic pills will be used.

Fixator nails will be dressed every 2-3 days. Dressing with Rifamycin will be done once a week.

Dressing is very important so that the fixator nails do not become inflamed, so I made dressings regularly.

I do the lengthening process 4 times a day. I have not experienced any pain or tension yet.

I regularly do stretching movements on my legs. (without pushing too hard)
My left leg is more flexible than my right leg.

My sleep pattern is mixed, sometimes I fall asleep right away, sometimes I can't. Not because of the pain, I'm not a supine person, but I'll have to get used to it.

I did the regular lengthening every day until my doctor appointment 1 week later. In this process, I did not use any painkillers and I did not have a problem.


A week later, I went to the doctor check-up.

My doctor examined my X-rays and said that everything is progressing normally.
In the first days, the lengthening was less. The compatibility of the fixator device and the harmony of the muscles, etc.


Here are my lengthening X-rays for a week before and after:

Very good informative diary MrJames.

Regarding the lengthening procedure you show in the two videos:

1. Unlock screw
2. Rotate 90 degrees
3. Lock screw

As I see it in the videos you only show 'Unlock screw' and 'Rotate 90 degrees' but you don't show 'Lock screw'.

Yes you are right.  I made the video short because I will write text on the video.
Also, I didn't want to show it again because it's the same transaction.

I try to do as much as I can on my own. 
Maybe I can record muscle stretching video.

Bob, are you considering surgery too?

Thanks.

Understood, thank you.

Maybe I'll consider a surgery if I get the money 

Best of luck.

It has mentioned that patients should get in contact with Gurkan Cihan in former.

May I ask which company does Gurkan represent? If he doesn't represent any formal company it is pretty illegal to do such things as organizing and advising.

Also it seems like Dr. Uysal wants to be represented by afa since he share that company all the time in his instagram stories.

My friend Gürkan had surgery in Turkey in 2019 by Dr Uysal.
 This operation became news in local TV and newspapers in Turkey.

 Gürkan does not represent any company, since he also had this surgery, he helps those who want to get information from him with his experience and knowledge on lengthening surgery.
 Thanks to him, we had this surgery.

 Everyone knows that those who know this surgery best are the people who have had this surgery.

 Companies where doctors work, etc.  Maybe it's their own choice.  I don't know about this.


 First of all, you can read the diaries of people who have had surgery and talk to them.

 After you decide to have the surgery, you can plan as you wish.
