LON method femur Frederico Dr Halil Buldu

Hi guys ,

I just created this topic to share with you  my patient experience with Limb Legthening . A bit about me... My Name is Frederico and I am orginally from Brazil but I have been living in Germany for quite  a while now also due to my german roots. I had my operation on 21 st november so exactly 1 week ago.

I choose the LON Method on my femurs. My goal is to lenghten 8 cm. So Im going from 173 cm to 181 cm.

I made my surgery with livelifetaller medical team in Istanbul Turkey which belongs to Dr Halil Buldu.

I started lenghtening today so I have still a long journey ahead of me here in Turkey as I am gonna stay for the hole lengthening process.

First week was very hard I suffered a lot but the team took really good care of me and now Im feeling a lot better and Im able to walk with the walker.
Im gonna post some pics of me and let you guys now about my development throughout this hole journey as I know how important this is for others that are  interested in doing this surgery...

Kind regards Frederico

Why did u choose LON on femurs....and what is ur external support for ur legs.

He does all the other methods with the internal nails but unfortunately they were too expensive for me and he showed me plenty of his patients having an excellent outcome using the LON method on the femurs or on the tibia . I had contact with other patients from  him such as Hakon from Norway and David from Switzerland who did the LON on femurs... both are completely fine after lengthening walking running bending their knees 90 degrees. Im using external fixators on my femurs. I dont know the name of the type  of fixator but I can poste a picture

Im trying to attach 2 pics but its saying that the folder is full ...

If you guys wanna exchange informations and get pics throughout my process just send me message and I pass my whatsapp by private message

P.S The external device you are using is called monorails. You can post pictures here by uploading them to https://imgbb.com/ and then sharing the link that points to the picture, in your diary. This is generally how it’s done here. Wish you the best of luck and a great distraction phase! Feel free to ask anything in your diary, and I’m sure someone will answer you briefly.

Thanks for welcoming me and explaining to me how to upload the pictures.

Here are the link to the pics

Appreciate the pictures, Frederico! How are you feeling so far... Do you have any discomfort or pain? Did you already start the lengthening process?

I will also post some videos and pics here but not a lot as I dont enter so much here.

Im feeling good now. The thing is I have to get familiar with the monorail. Sleeping is not that easy and doing daily stuff such as going to the toilett have to be adapted. I have lengthened 1 mm so far I started lenghtening today ! I am lenghtening 4 times a day 0.25 mm each time I turn my legthening key.
