you brought up a very important point

Israeli dr that that didn't perform ll because  basically no one passed his pre screening

also, getting 1 leg broken and lengthened is not even close to being the same thing as having 2 broken, so limb discrepancy cases while interesting, aren't that relevant

 having 2 legs broken compared to 1 is not 2x as bad, but like 10x as bad... there's a huge difference... and it has an effect on our recovery

Not no one... But not enought (He said that for state hospital to have a department open for only 10-20 people a year is not worth it economically... In Israel the system works in a way that a state hospital can also do private intervention.. Which means that if I as an Israeli want to do with a private doctor a gastric sleeve surgery for example, I only pay 30% of the fee while the state health security pays the other 70%... It's a complicated system in Israel to explain here... But basically in terms of healthcare we are almost communists which is great Permanent effects of LL). Yeah... The pain is much worse and being temporarly crippled is a huge toll on the psych.... But if you prepare physically and mentally good enough and long enough for it, you can make it.

I'm gonna visit Israel in the next year

don't discount  how bad it is to have 2 broken legs... it's really bad... if I had 1 broken leg, I never would have had achilles surgery... having 2 broken legs with ballerina  makes life very very difficult

This is why for me I keep coming back to Dr Monegal in my mind. The idea of having two broken legs and essentially being crippled (not that one is exactly a walk in the park) genuinely freaks me the hell out.

I'm not against doing one leg, you can ask other doctors to do one leg at a time, but don't go to Spain. Cooper had just one tibia done and had problems. Musicmaker had just one femur done and had problems. None of them could walk although they had done one-stage surgeries. Both crippled and needing corrections. Getting just one leg done doesn't mean you will be complication-free. Just my 2 cents, my opinion (I can give my opinion as Crinsomtide does and everybody else here).

Out of the people who were unsatisfied in the collection of diaries, they all did 6cm and above. How much safer is just doing 3.5cm?

For those who have already done tibias, do you think you would have a better recovery and almost no complications if you stopped at 3.5cm?

Hypothetically, you would have done it with only external fixators.

I want to make this surgery but I m afraid...
Can u advice me? Which dr can I have?
Germany dr Betz? No complications?



i lengthened over 7 cm... i lewngthened more than .66 mm a day often...


guess what... I'm in no pain, and on no painkillers... ill see dr agaon on wed, but i'm pretty sure im ok

I can already walk. etc etc

i might need to realign my left leg, which is a bit annoying, but other than that... and a very tiny amount of numbness that seems to be going away(already cant even notice it unless i consciuously think of it)... and  it has zero impact on function


Will I be 100%... well, Considering the fact that I, as well as most others, never pushed our bodies to ithe maximum anyway, I doubt it even matters

For most people, while technically they will  not be 100%, for all intents and purposes, they will not even notice theres a difference


the people that have done ll, ask them if they regret it, almost all will confidently say no...


I know I don't regret it... even with the potential of fixing one last issue... for me to regret it, I'd have to suffer loss of a limb or  motor function


Being short sucks
