Quote from: KiloKAHN on September 22, 2016, 06:12:55 PMOh and did you ever meet the representative from Ellipse considering you paid for him to be there? Or did he only arrive after you were knocked out and left before you got to see him?
What is this all about? Is the "assistance" from a representative from Ellipse included in the price when you pay for a Precice surgery?

Would really appreciate if you stop invading unrelated threads (Penguinn, Unicorn) with your paranoia. Could you limit yourself to scaring Spanish ladies in old forums using google translator, Adviser4ll... I mean, LLuser1?

I believe the representative comes to be in the OT with any surgeon who is implanting the Precice nail for the first time, and any subsequent implants of the Precice nail will not require the representative to be there. I could be wrong though.
Quote from: LLuser1 on September 22, 2016, 07:26:47 PMCongratulations Penguinn. I knew you would do it and be OK!
How do you know that Parihar did a textbook perfect procedure? Did he say that? Monegal says all his surgeries are perfect and they aren't. Some surgeons aren't to be trusted. Parihar seems good but I don't trust LL surgeons anymore.
It's good to know that the rod could be tested in the OR and it failed and it was changed. Monegal said it was one of the main disadvantages of Precice against Fitbone, that it couldn't be tested, but in fact the Fitbone rod has failed sometimes in OR and they did nothing to replace it like in your case and patients had to have new surgeries.
10 hours for 2 legs is good including anaesthesia and recovery room. I know about people who spent 10 hours down there for one leg!
By the way you should have met the Ellipse representative if you paid for it.
The Ellipse representative is proof that it was the rod itself that failed. Dr. P simply let me know that usually the rod failing would be the surgeon's fault, but it wasn't.
Didn't want to meet the representative pre op. Was anxioue about my LL.
Maybe it got damaged when shipped or something? Who knows.
Quote from: Penguinn on September 22, 2016, 06:08:49 PMAlso Dr. Parihar saw my x-rays, they checked out and said we will start lengthening on the 7th day post op. Man, I cannot wait.
Hope you won't get big lengthening pain.
Nope, they are shipped in pristine condition. It wasn't responding to the magnet.
And thanks!
Bad luck with the nail then
I hope you have good luck from now
Thanks. It doesn't seem to have affected me or I just recover fast.

You are very young,im sure it will help you alot about recovery.
You'd think it'd be wise to check the mechanism prior to insertion of the nail. The only thing I can see prohibiting this is perhaps it is unsanitary to do so.
