What is nerve injury? What are the consequences of it? Why does it happen? How serious is it? Does it cripple you?
I was reading about someone called android.

1) Procedural error: Cheap surgeons who have inadequate training and equipment, often cannot judge their incision well. There are cases where surgeons accidently severe or damage muscles and nerves. This type of nerve injury is very difficult to recover from and often lead to some permanent deformity. However, this risk can be almost completely mitigated by choosing a reputable surgeon, not cheap ones from India and Turkey.
2) Lengthening too quickly: Some individuals can have rapid bone formation. This results in pre-consolidation, which often leads to the surgeon advising faster than acceptable lengthening schedule. I've seen anywhere between 1.2mm-2mm a day. This results in extreme nerve pain and can result in nerve damage. Luckily for most people, our bones don't consolidate faster than 0.25mm a day. However, while lengthening too fast can lead to nerve damage, we can usually recover from this.
Really really appreciate it. Thanks for the reply.
So the risks seem minimal

What if I got no $ lol. I'm thinking about Naveen Talwar and mangal Parihar. Probably solomin even. These are the 3 guys I have zeroed down on
IS THAT THE SCAR FROM EXTERNAL FEMUR? MISSION ABORT MISSION ABORT!!! IM DROPPING MY EXFIX FEMUR PLAN NOW. Dude. wtf. Thats horrific. That's not a scar. Thats more like a wound from a knife fight with 50 men with knives. Scary

So wait. She lengthened 4 inches in one segment? Or was it cross lengthening?
Quote from: GrowANut on September 16, 2021, 06:51:42 PMI mean honestly expensive doesn't necessarily mean "good"
I'd much rather go to Parihar than Betz or guichet
Quote from: GrowANut on September 16, 2021, 07:02:04 PMIt looks like she lengthened 7 cm in her left leg and her right leg "collapsed" ?? her right leg broke 3 times and didn't grow... idk what doctor she had but damn that's rough.

So that's cross lengthening ,isn't it? Also for some reason women face more complications in LL.
Although don't say that to feminists who think "gender is a social construct" and "men and women are equal"lolll
Quote from: GrowANut on September 17, 2021, 03:53:33 AMI think she accidentally broke that leg 3 times which sucks... cross lengthening is when you break your right femur and break your left tibia then when they heal you break your left femur and your right tibia. xD ya maybe females might have a harder time with this surgery and they usually have longer legs so they'd look even more disproportionate.
Oh. Let's just hope it doesn't happen to us. Why do you think it happened to her? Early weight bearing?
Quote from: Xx_Gaylord1337_xX on September 17, 2021, 12:33:36 PMher bones didnt fuse. this whole procedure left her financially ruined for the rest of her life.
if something goes wrong you re fuked with LL. doctors try to market it as a small and quick procedure.
get surgery, lengthen for a couple months and heres your new height. its not like that.
Her bones didnt fuse? Isn't that fixable by a simple bone grafting procedure?
Quote from: SirStretchAlot on September 17, 2021, 03:21:02 PMShe did do a bone graft at the end from her hip, which cured her. The bone however was very thin and grew slowly.
I think there're many confusions here about Guichet. The Indian kid who died was entirely his own fault, for not taking the prescribed blood thinner.
As for Unicorn, both were culpable. Guichet misdiagnosed pre-consolidation and asked her to click fast, but she ignored his advice to not lengthen so much. She lengthened 4 inches for someone who was in the low 5'. She was also not weightbearing as advised. You absolutely need to walk with crutches as much as possible during LL to stimulate bone growth. Combined with the fact that old women have the poorest bone growth of any group, it is not surprising that she had non-union.
Regardless, I wouldn't advocate for Guichet either. He is too expensive for his reputation. I'd go still go with Giotikas if you want weightbearing. Betz has no aftercare and doesn't do ITB release which will slow your recovery.
Oh. I don't think I as a 22 year old guy need to worry about it, do I? I don't smoke, don't drink, never did drugs, have a healthy lifestyle. I don't think I'd have nonunion. Girls should probably stay away from this surgery
