I did the surgery in USA 2020 , total cm that I did lengthening is 7.8cm .
This is so disappointed disgusting and a nightmare for me
I am waiting 9 hours now with my broken leg to do the surgery for fixing my broken leg.
I will post images as soon as I can .
I slept normally after went back home from the removal surgery day but suddenly heard a pop out sound and then my femur bone break and bulging.
I don’t know Dr will respond for this complication cost.
My Nails removal complication in USA
I am really regret now.
Update:I have to wait 23 hours more start from now to go to surgery room. Extremely scary and I wish I never did LL . ( I did with stryde nails)
Any comments really support my complicated feeling now. I can’t believe this , I read a lot people here before decide to LL. (Movie, TheAlchemist, SNC, ….) sorry about my story.

I wish I know why it broke , I woke up by a pop sound on day 4 and see bones got bulging
Quote from: Growing on September 21, 2021, 12:49:43 AMYou're not really even saying much though. What happened? How did this happen? What has the surgeon said about it?
I am scared now , I am waiting for the surgery room , that’s why my chat is slow. And my mind is not 100%. But I will explain when I can. I am not in normal condition

I am finding a way to upload pictures and still keep my privacy.
Sorry if I make u confusing. But I don’t know why it’s broke, maybe not consolidation enough( but that is my thinking- Dr allow to remove nails so it should be consolidation) as I said , I can’t reach with my Dr, only with Dr’s assistant and they said this is weird.

My picture at Hospital now.
I spent 1 hours to find out best way to post pic but still in privacy. I am still waiting for the surgery tomorrow ( I hope so ) ( I went to ER not my original surgery Dr the limb lengthening)
I am really disappointed because I can’t talk with Dr this whole day…
To be clear again What happened to me : I ready to woke up in this morning and ready to wash face, but not had chances to do it yet, a boom sound inside my leg come up. Still in bed not even get up yet. I was out of my mind didn’t know what was going on and Didn’t know why it happened, Doctor didn’t tell me why.Then call 911, Dr assistant and go to ER.
Quote from: Want-3-inches on September 21, 2021, 08:50:02 AMObviously it's because the bone wasn't healed fully enough for the nails to be taken out. Or the screw holes create a weakness until they are completely filled up.
Sorry to hear this DreamerLL. I am praying for your swift recovery.
Did you get your nail removed in the US with the original surgeon?
I can’t sleep tonight , yes all in and out by original Doctor in the US. It’s been round 12 months since I did the LL. Will post Xray pic but I am concerning about privacy.
Quote from: SirStretchAlot on September 21, 2021, 09:06:31 AMHow many months has it been since your surgery? Have you been running or jumping in the 4 days previous to the breakage? And how old are you if you don't mind us asking?
These all play a factor.
12 months , Doctor allowed me to remove nails , so….! No never run or jump since I put those nails in and out. I am early 30s. I am very cautious, didn’t run although Dr allow me to run.
