My LL Journey - Dr. Jamal Abu Nemer, Kiev

Quote from: Body Builder on June 08, 2018, 09:29:22 PMI dont know what methods Nemer has to treat non unions.
But if the gap is big, no much things can be done, like Unicorn's case where she may need to shorten the gap and lengthen again as a last solution.

So dont trust blindly your doctor like Unicorn did and ened up with an 8cm non union,  non unions are the first concern after infection, not the last. With almost non existent calus I wouldn't lengthen further until it gets thicker otherwise you are risking troubles.

Anyway, on your next x ray if your calus is so minimum you should stop asap. But I hope it gets better.

Keep strong!



I'm afraid I have to trust my doctor. He is more qualified to guide me through my journey

Stop with lengthening until you see some growth, then you can continue. And nonunion is not a small matter. Please take it seriously, we want the best for you mate.

Hello Shadow91

No one is neglecting the seriousness of the non union matter.
If it is the case, stem cells treatment will do the job.

If that was the case, Unicorn's situation would be solved already. That is, there would be an existing treatment for her big non-union.

Take the advice from the vets seriously.

Hello myloginacc

I don't know who Unicorn is and how she was treated, so I can't comment on her situation.

Stem cells treatment needs to be done at the day the lengthening stops. I am not sure if she had it just after they stopped the device or not, or if she had it at all.

No one so far gave me a qualified answer why they think the callous looks weak. Besides that you can't tell that after 1 month of lengthening, as far I was explained.

stem cells wont do sh!t  if there is no callous. Stem cells can only speed up calcification. Huge difference.

Apart from the word "S...", that is a scientifically qualified answer that I will buy Stem cells needs something to build on. And if there is no callous at all, there are methods such as implanting bone grafts and applying stem cells to provoke the growth.

Yes, but the (nonunion) gap may have become too big for most attempts to work, like in Unicorn's case. That's why you need to be careful.

As Body Builder said, LL is not a time attack. If you went and got yourself in a surgery like this, you need to make sure you come out in the best shape possible.

Hello myloginacc

Yes that is understandable. I fully agree with you.
Everyone wants to come out of such a treatment in the best shape possible.

I just don't like the tone or lack of communication skills by some members in here. I find it somehow immature.

Dear members

I would kindly and sincerely ask you to not use any bad words in my diary. My family reads this diary every day, including my 6 years old kid who is learning how to read.

I know that I can't demand or dictate it, but I am asking sincerely and kindly to select your words carefully which is suitable for such a respectable forum and is somehow "family friendly".

Again, I can't force you to do so. Its just a friendly ask from a carrying dad.

Thank you for your understanding and may God protect and bless you all.
