I am father of son who has done Tibia LON at DALRI in South Korea by Dr. Lee.
My son has the plan to do second surgery with Dr. Lee this year for his femur.
I want to share some experiences to say thanks to Dr. Lee and his team.
My son had Tibia LON in May last year and we stayed in Korea one more month after removal LON device.
We literally stayed 5 months and 1 week from the date of first surgery.
For the period of lengthening and before 2nd surgery of removal, I have posted a while ago.
After removal device, my son used crutches very soon like a week or two after.
He did rehab session at DALRI for 3-4 times per week before removal and after removal until we came back to Canada.
Therapist helped really a lot for his recovery faster and right way.
Thanks again to Jiho Kim.
And we came back to Canada about a month after removal and he was slow walking with crutches but very good condition.
Like walk without crutches in home with no problem.
Then about 1-2 weeks later, he started walk without crutches outside. Slow but ok.
He was so happy because he feels really taller than before and life changed.
From about 2-3months after removal LON, he started walking like normal person.
No one can know by his walking.
Now he walks more than 10k-20k steps everyday and he does leg press 100kg with no problem.
But Dr. Lee recommends 50kg for now to be careful.
I know my son is very athletic guy. He did more than 200kg before surgery and he will soon again I believe.
While we stayed in Canada, we sent X-ray result by email and WhatsApp every 2 months or so.
Also Dr. Lee gave us feedback how it's going.
He is very impressively helping his patient and care. So we didn't have to worry much at all.
And for all these communication was done by international team and they keep following us for anything.
Thanks again to International team and especially Chief Sewon Kim.
My son will come to Korea to do Precice Femur this year June.
As everyone know, Korea is good place to stay and for there are so many good restaurants we already found.
I can share if anyone need.
If you're planning to lengthening, you should consider DALRI as first option.
We had no second option for my son's Femur surgery.
Since the tibia results were phenomenal(7.7cm) without any serious matter, we never thought any other option like other doctor and just waited whenever they can be ready for precice device.
I will definitely share more experience later.
