Hello;
my name is Seda. Im from Turkey. I had curvature on my legs and I was feeling short (my height was 156 cm ). So, i started to search leg correction and limb lengthening. Most of doctors told that I will undergo a challenging progress after surgery. But i was decisive and i wanted to take this surgery. So, i conducted to make my search. Also I want to show my photos before surgery, you can see my legs (they are O shaped legs);
Then, i heard Prof Dr. Halil İbrahim Balcı from his book "Basic Techniques for Extremity Reconstruction" (from springer press) and his articles about extremity reconstruction from Google Scholar. I’m a nurse, I read articles and books about medical in almost every day. Then i decided to meet him. I want to express my thanks to Limb Lengthening İstanbul because they were so helpful to reach Halil İbrahim Balcı. ( My hometown is Çorum. Halil Ibrahim balcı was in Istanbul.)
Prof Dr Halil İbrahim Balcı was working in İstanbul University Medical Faculty. So, he did examinations here. And, he told that I will encounter a challenging progress because I had so thin bones. But I was decisive on this and I wanted to take this surgery. By the way, I allowed to limb lengthening Istanbul to take my video in acknowledgement of their help on transportation and hospital. Here is my video on their Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/CtcN7Lzp1Hb/
Here is the some rontgen films of before surgery;
And I took this surgery in 18 May 2023. Even just before the start of the surgery, in operating room, Halil Ibrahim Balcı asked “ if you afraid, we can cancel, you right?
” . But I gave last decision on this Go!
When I woke up after surgery, I felt enormous pain on my fixator beds. I thought that these pains wont pass and I will suffer. But these pains had gone in 4-5 hours after I woke up after surgery. These are the rontgen films after surgery. I lost the films from 18 May 2023. So I posted the 29 May 2023 films. (films which are from just before starting lengthening) Im taking the films from a Turkish government website e-nabiz.gov.tr . They have a viewing sistem which is named as "teleradyoloji"
Also I have rontgens from my first centimeter. The films from 7 June. I was feeling a little bit pain. It is like something is itching my tibias.
After that, I continued to my lengthening progress. I was feeling pain on cut surfaces of my bones and my external fixator beds. But pain was small because I was feeling the progress. Otherwise suffering of pain would be bad. Here is the rontgens. My gain was about 2.5 centimeter in here.
These are my final rontgens; I reached to 6 centimeters. This is the limit of tibia lengthening for normal people. My Doctor Prof Dr Halil Ibrahim Balcı will remove my fixator at the end of the July , before he will go to England because of his academic research. Doctor finished my lengthening progress and we are waiting for consolidation now. Fixators are really itching. I feel so small pain on my fixator beds. By the way, for pain, prof. Dr. Halil İbrahim Balcı only gives Augmentin ( a painkiller with a small effect) but he doesn't recommend to use any painkiller since painkillers have negative effect on bone growth. I will continue to update and upload photos after fixator removal surgery.
