You took the nails out too early. 
Sorry about what you're goiing through.
I did 9.5cm with Betz (10cm left, 9cm right) and I only took my nails more than 18 months later.
And 18 months after lengthening, not after surgery.
I was in my late 20s, early 30s then.
Not saying Dr. Debiparshad is a bad doctor, but I was looking into getting my nails removed by him and the receptionist (Teresa) was rude and unprofessional through emails in my experience, I'm sure she wouldn't forward my messages to the doctor in a timely manner either, she replied after 2 weeks one time.. even after I emailed twice. I was hoping for significantly better service if I was willing to pay 14K for removal surgery... DreamerLL , you might have removed them too early unfortunately, and you said you never ran on the nails or any high impact activities, and rather than that being a good thing, It might've been detrimental to your full recovery. When you run you make micro-fractures that make your bones stronger, you should've tried light jogging when your doctor cleared you and build up from there slowly and carefully.

I always felt (and wrote somewhere in here) that Dr Depibahsard is a bit "green".
Wishing you best of luck with your recovery.

If I remember right he was offering some kind of "package deal" with 2 nights hotel stay to get people to remove nails with him and maybe he got complacent trying to increase his numbers. I wonder what explanation he gave DreamerLL after causing all this trauma. At the very least he shouldn't charge a penny for sorting this complication out.

Excuse me @want-3-inches, are we still talking about limb lengthening or about pizza night deals!?
Hi Dreamer,
Like the rest of us on the forum, I'm very sorry that you are having to experience this complication. Thank you for sharing the details of this event because by doing this; many others will now be aware of this possibility and can go even further in prevention measures.
A few details that I gathered from your posts:
- Nails were removed 12 months after surgery or 9 months after lengthening was completed.
- You did not perform any strenuous activity during the past 12 months. (Only walking)
Future CLL'ers and those that have undergone CLL but will have their nails removed soon; please pay special attention to both DreamerLL and ProgramDude's, forum posts. They both have experienced upper femur fractions post nail removal surgery.
DreamerLL, this is a setback that will set you up for a COMEBACK. You have gained 3 inches of additional height and this incident will not take that away from you. Your bone will heal fast just like it did with the initial CLL procedure and you'll be back to walking in no time. The time will fly by and you'll be on track. It's just one leg...yes that is no fun; but you can still get around okay once the surgery pains heal. Focus on what you have accomplished my friend. You'll battle your way through this final challenge and when you ultimately succeed; you'll be stronger than you ever have before...mentally and physically. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions for me or if I can provide more feedback.
All the Best,
IFS
All best wishes and good luck on resolving this issue with Dr. D. I hope it gets sorted out for you soon. And thank you for putting all this out there on the forum for future and current LL'ers to take note of. I had my LL femur surgery in July with Dr. M and will have rods removed later rather than sooner now after reading all this, plus have Xrays done and read prior to removal. I still don't understand why Dr. D has not responded to you and reassured you yet.
I agree with IFS's positive response and words!
You'll come out of this okay bud x. 
Stay safe. Remember you are 3 inches taller now! That's awesome.
It's unfortunate. But at least it happened in bed and not while crossing the road in traffic or something.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Thanks for sharing this.
I looked him up - he looks like he's 30 years old at most, how on earth is he performing cosmetic LL surgeries? In my not so humble opinion every doctor should work their way up over many years, even decades, working on reconstructive cases resulting from trauma or defect with increasing complexity. They should do this until they can spot risks / complications in the blink of an eye, and address these confidently. That is when they can consider breaking perfectly healthy bones for cosmetic reasons.
Plastic surgeons coming straight out of uni are a big red flag.
I know it does not help you DreamerLL, but at least sharing your experience will help others. It certainly helps me. Stay strong man, it will all be good!

I think he's much older than that. He received his MD in 2007. That would give him 14 years of clinical experience, though at most 12 of which may have been surgical.
In the North American medical system where you have to complete an undergraduate first, and 3-4 years of medical school later, that would make him 39 years old at the youngest.
