Quote from: nvafee on July 09, 2025, 10:29:15 AMThank you for sharing your experience in such detail. I think the Turkish doctor did a good job — it’s impressive that he replaced the nail when it bent without charging you extra. Your femur also seems to have recovered quite well.
The issue, in my opinion, may have come from attempting to lengthen the tibia while your femur hadn’t fully healed yet. That likely put extra strain on your body.
However, keep looking forward — stay patient, keep exercising, and give your tibia some time to heal. My advice is to buy a stationary exercise bike. It’s great for bone recovery because it promotes circulation and mobility without putting your full body weight on your legs.
If cost is a major concern, I know that in Vietnam, some doctors can remove the metal parts— at least in the lower legs — for a very affordable price.
No, man... my doctor did many mistakes, minimum 4 mal-practices.
He didnt charge me for the nail bent because the nail was used before. Is how they keep low the total cost and make more profit. This fact was told to me and confirmed later by few real and big LL doctors... and this is a crime !
No, there are many guys who did like me quad LL with only 1-2 months in between and worked well. The problem is not that... it is the lack in experience.
No, man, i dont have "to be patient", because i should be walking normal 6 months ago already !
I can see you didnt read, but i got again deformities and if i "exercice" i will deform more my bones, even to brake the scrrws or bones !
You should think before saying such things !
Exercices and recovery is my profession, so I know better.
No, i dont have to pay only for removing metals from my body... I first have TO FIX MY DEFORMITIES, which cost MUCH MORE !
Yes, the extra cost for fixing deformities is a MAJOR concern... because IT SHOULDNT HAPPEN !
I paid already lots of money for lengthening and should be enough !
My diary of quadrilateral Precice2 LL with Dr. Gokhan
Corrective surgery to realign the bone axis in Vietnam can cost less than $10,000. However, it wouldn’t be safe if your tibia hasn’t fully healed yet. You said that exercising causes your bone to become deformed — that means your bone hasn’t fully healed yet.. If you don’t exercise, or if you're unable to exercise, your bones will have a hard time healing.
Those who successfully underwent quad limb lengthening with only 1–2 months between segments typically did so because they were younger and could recover much faster. The older you are, the higher the risk becomes. I’m not sure if your doctor mentioned that to you.

Man, first of all Vietnam is same crap as Turkey, India, etc, so I am not id-iot to go there.
I am not even go to Giotikas, who is specialized somehow in LL but with many complaints... even less so in Vietnam !
The only one good in Asia is Donghoon Lee.
Man, just read my diary, because you didnt !... I dont explain the whole story here.
I am not in the healing period, i am in a long period of mal-practice and deformities period. My tibias should be cut again now and re-alligned with stable internal nails. I have callus already due to bone graft, but the bones are deformed in Procurvatum and Valgus... plus malrotation in the left femur.
You can do exercises ONLY on perfect alligned and adjusted bones, not on deformed bones... because you are making your situation worse !
But i am so happy you explain me things... So, what else you teach me ?

What background do you have to give this advice? Are you a completed LL patient? Doctor?
I am completed LL patient, I also faced some similar issues like Ted, but I managed to overcome them.
I have an engineering background, but I've also gained a great deal of medical knowledge over the years through my experience with limb lengthening.
Do you mind sharing your experience? Which part of your leg was deformed and why it happened? Then it will be easier to understand where your advice is coming from.

The right tibia has an outward angulation of 5 degrees due to nail misalignment. Currently preparing to correct it by cutting a 5-degree wedge at the tibia.
After completing the lengthening and following 10 months of proper exercise
The scars on my hips
Another incompetence of my docter is the ugly scars on my hips.
On the right hip is almost nothing... so its ok

... but on my left hip is a disaster...
https://photos.app.goo.gl/pHGfpnMeo68UzPWt7
And he couldnt give me any good answer when i complained about this.
So, my doctor cannot have anything consistent... only the mistakes and mal-practices... AND ALL THESE ON MY OWN MONEY AND SUFFERING

Is this scars from the original surgery or the complications surgerys? Is it still painful? It looks scary
