Hey guys,

this is just to share my LL experience with dott. M. Catagni (Lecco, Italy). Below some information:

Initial height: 163.5cm
Date of operation: 5th March 2015
Start lenghening at 20th March
Lengthening ratio: 0.75mm/day (I have one ostheotomy in my tibiae and one in my fibulae)
Target lengthening: minimum 6cm, max 7.5 cm

I'm now at 29mm.

Awesome to have an account from Dr Catagni. I've always been very interested in this doctor. How would you describe him? Is he attentive to your needs and easily reachable if you have a problem?

How are you managing pain so far?

Unhappy: I spent 20k euros for the surgery and three days in hospital

KiloKhan: He's really professional, you can read his cv, he's basically one of the world most experienced doctor with Ilizarov fixation. He's pretty busy quite everytime, I have face to face meeting scheduled every month, and for general question we use email. I have no pain at all, but maybe I'm just lucky and I have an high pain tollerance... Or maybe it's because his know-how with ilizarov fixation.
