Yes, I did, as I explained above...

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 !

The graft was not a must. You should have tried teriparatide first, which Dr Gokhan probably does not even know exists.

You always accused somebody, me, doctors, etc... and i always been nice with you. But now is too much !
Are you an orthopedist ?... FOR SURE NOT !... So how you dare to contradict a doctor ?
I said very clear that i was talking with my doctor, with dr Birkholz and with dr Donghoon and they ALL said i need graft, otherwise i will have non-union.

And how you dare to say dr. Gokhan "not even heard about Teriparatide" ?... He knows million things that you never heard about and you will never understand, believe me !
My doctor told me, which i knew already, that Forteo (Teriparatide) doesnt help in building callus. That medicine is good only for strengthening the bone that you have, especially in osteoporosis  cases !... which, obviously, you have no idea about !

So, please, dont bother me anymore !.... Post your incompetency somewhere else !

we're here to follow Ted68's journal to learn something and be prepared for our own. asking questions and phrasing things in a matter of learning is one thing but to speak the way you do is combative and asinine. I've learned a lot reading keeping up with his journal, don't ruin it for us subscribers. go somewhere else with your ego.

Hey, Bob.
I detailed all these after coming back home, but i will repeat for you:

1 - 3 nights
2 - 7 nights
3 - Yes, i can walk with canes and walker, but with big pain. The pain from plates is totally different.

Hey Ted68.
What is the name of the hospital that you did your surgery in January 2024, and was it a good hospital?

20 Jan 2024 - One month from my 4-th surgery

- My bones looks to be ok
- I have a slight knock knees, but i knew that right after surgery
- I still change my plasters every 3 days, with Betadine
- I can walk with canes and walker, but in the first minute I have an unbearable pain. The pain in plates is so different !
- I take Calcium, D3, Colagen, Multi minerals and Vit C
- My urethra is still damaged and I have sudden peeing sensation. I took for 10 days Metilene Blue when I arrived home... and today I started again. I just hate Turkey they dont have ANY medicine with Metilene Blue for urinary, because I should take it when I stayed in Turkey, right after surgery... not now !
- And something I forgot to tell you is that I broke a ligament to my little right toe, hitting my toe to a table leg... so my doctor put a pin in my toe hoping he will fix it somehow... but I dont know if will be really fixed. Doctor didnt cut my skin to see the ligament, he only pulled from outside the ligament and hold the broken end with the stuck pin.
Here you see few pictures...

I stayed with this pin for one month and I had to be sure i get no infections. Also, was hard to use shoes, slippers, etc.
Now I have to remove it. I will do it with my hand these days...

- Overall, now I am waiting for the callus to develop well and deep on my tibias and I hope the pain will decrease... because it is unbelievable high !... When I stand up, for first steps I am screaming !... and this is happening many times a day and the pain feels to be worse and worse every day, not less...
