Of course, otherwise there will be 10x more short people doing it. But I am wondering why OP did not give that retard surgeon up when he suggested to legnthen 2mm per day. Of course it will cause non-union as expected because your body can't catch up with such high rate. It's indeed important to have primary knowledges about this surgery, to avoid being crippled by any bad surgeon.(Btw I am not blaming OP for his ignorance about this surgery. Just try to aware other potiential patients of the importance of primary knowledges. This surgery is really not a joke. You really will not even know if your legs will be screwed up if you don't know them, and cry about the disability without the surgeon giving any fks about you).
nonunion- and considering undoing the surgery
Quote from: tallmf on September 13, 2019, 04:19:17 PMhey guys, I did bone grafting surgery on both legs 5 weeks ago. also, I fixed my ballerina with a foot frame,( i was in frame for 20 days) so I'm on the cast now, ill remove my cast in one week and ill post my Xray in one week. by the way, my regeneration is good already. how do I know? because I went to remove the frame a couple of weeks ago, I saw it on the operation theatre Xray machine ( I don't know the actual name of that thing) and the doctors confirmed it.
I'll be leaving India by the end of the month. so when I'm back home ill write my complete experience and future progress. hanging there guys. I'm okay right now.
in the meantime, for the future, LL's my advice. safe limit is 4-5cm keep this in mind, yes some people do 6,7,8,9 and get away with it. stretching capacity is different person to person, never get carried away with the bragging of the previous patients or doctors. if you are a pro/semi-pro sport, athletic, gym person your tendons and muscles are tight. after 10% lengthening of your bone, you will have problems. MOST IMPORTANT 5cm is a GOOD fking height remember this.
and if you are doing lengthening on non-weight-bearing frame, please do exercise every day. here dr sarin provides physiotherapy every day. however I couldn't do physio from 4cm to 6cm ( almost a month) for several reasons which ill explain later. I think I was the only patient who stopped doing physio halfway through since the dr sarin changed his frame to nonweight bearing a couple of years ago.
so I got unlucky. I hope this explain the reason why I did have nonunion, however, I'm glad it has been fixed and I take this as everything happen for a good reason.
The amount of your tibial lengthening lies within the safe range. 6-6.5 cm is not hard to breeze though. Just you lengthened too fast, so of course your bones could not catch up.
If you have recent imaging data please put it at this thread. Redact any information that could be used to dox you.
