LON Tibia with Dr Yukksel Yurttas

Edit Post

December 17th at 11:38PM in Istanbul.

Greetings everyone.
I'm just getting out of surgery with Dr Yuksel Yurttas in Istanbul. I did LON Tibias.

My starting height is 160cm and I wish to get 5-6cm.

I am literally out of the surgery since 15 minutes ago, and would like share my progress and my journey. Hopefully there aren't complications.

Also, the doctor could not put a intermedullary nail in my tibia bone. He said the gap is too narrow for it to go. I will be putting the IM nail in after I finish lengthening. Hopefully that goes well, and there are no deformity issues or non union issues due to no nail.

It's extremely loud outside of this hospital. Feels like I'm next to a circus or something.

Immediately after the surgery it's about a 2.
A couple of hours after the surgery it's like an 8-8.5.
Constant throbbing pain.

I did not, but I didn't step out of the room much either. Maybe he went back to the US?

Seems okay from first impression. I'll let you know how it goes by with time.

I have constant 7/10 pain here in the hospital. I have a spinal paracetamol injection in my back but even that doesn't do anything to the pain. I can barely sleep and wake up every 3 hours. On top of that, it's extremely loud outside my hospital room with cars honking for literally no reason. I feel sad and depressed.

2 1/2 days after surgery, still in the hospital. I'm able to bend my knees completely and my feet and ankle work. I'm still numb in my right leg and I've been numb since 2 days. It's like running a marathon to even bend my knees.

Nice! All I can say is be prepared man, and make sure this is something you really want to do. None of the patients here sugar coated me the procedure, the consultant didn't sugar coat me or sell me a dream, neither did the doctor.

What's the hospital name? Mine was so quiet might be because of good quality windows. I think tibia is much more painful than femur. Stay strong my friend, people say that with the passage of time the pain eases

Esencan Hospital. And my window is literally outside a busy street. 

Yeah, I've heard that too. Tibia pain is sharper compared to Femur. Atleast that's what I've heard.
