AFTER MOUNTING PLATES - post Christmas
I arrived home and now I feel more confident, because for 6 months I was scared about my screws and deformities.
Now I am in my house and I take care of myself carefully, with medicines and every 2-3 days changing with my hands the lower legs patches and dressings. I bought many of them and Betamine too.
I also have a metal pin in my small toe, because I broke my ligament and doctor tried to fix it somehow. I hope it will work. I have to change its bandage carefully, to prevent infection and after 2 weeks I have to remove it with my hand, as doctor let me do it.
The bad things is that I cannot do a shower, so I have to clean my skin with soaped towels and do the same rinsing.
I have to walk, but the pain is very tough, because I take no painkillers, so I mostly move with the wheelchair...
The pain now is very different, I feel it in the region of plates, and is like a sharp burn.
I take Calcium, Vit D3, other Minerals, other Vitamines and Aspirin for 2 weeks more.
I eat normal and I have good apetite.
I drink Kefir against constipation.
Here you can see my new lower egs ...

My diary of quadrilateral Precice2 LL with Dr. Gokhan
Hey, Ted68!
No, my friend. I am not a LL patient. However, I plan to do some in the future, but I am not the youngest either. That is why I am looking for a suitable clinic in Europe. It does not necessarily have to be Turkey, but on the other hand, Turkey would be a good option for me because I know the people and the language well. I am between 1.64 and 1.67 cm tall and weigh about 85 kg, fully muscular and athletic.

I got it.
If you are prepared, you can do it at any age, like me...
We'll keep in touch and good luck, man !
HAPPY NEW YEAR... guys !
(^_^)
Happy New Year to all!...
Thank you, Ted68! That's why your diary caught my attention and I think you hit the nail on the head my friend, the rest is history. You just need to be a little more patient, good luck!
Hey Ted68, was it possible to have shorten the tibia instead of bone graft and plating?
Happy New Year Ted! Hope things are on track to get better!

Hey, man...
Dr Birkholz suggested me to remove nails and put external frames, so i correct all deformities every day, plus graft... and to go back maybe 1 cm and elongate again slowly. The problem is that my right tibia started to get more callus and the right fibula got full callus already. So, was complicated and I should keep those frames for 6 months on my legs, and more scars and infections...
Dr Gokhan decided thta is better to have plates instead, plus graft and to correct everything in one surgery.
Anyhow, the graft was a must, otherwise I could have non union on the frontal size of bothe tibias !

Thank you
