Hi All,

I have been reading this forum over few years and now I have decided to do my femur lengthening with Dr. Giotikas using GNail. Is there anyone else who is looking at doing in the same time frame with Dr. G? It would be happy have a fellow LL mate to gang up with in the journey.

My surgery was yesterday, now in hospital. Everything looks good so far, waiting for challenging days.

would you mind sharing your diary with us so we can keep track and plan ahead
what was you nail size 11mm or 13 mm ?
would you mind sharing your initial height/proportions and your goal ?

Sure, I will write a diary soon once out of the next couple of days.  I am 163 cm, aiming for 8 - 9. Doctor used 13mm nail for me and it can carry upto 95kg per leg so I am feeling confident to walk.

The surgery wasn't painful at all?

I heard/read that 13 mm nails are hard to fit without reaming too much .
How is it possible that at 163cm you could fit it ?
I understand that bone and height are not necessarily strictly related but they are to a certain degree so I wonder how common is to fit them

was using 13mm nail, no issue. Please check with Doc to see if your bone is wide enough to use 13mm
