Quadrilateral Lengthening with Dr. Paley

Edit Post

Hi can you put pics of your tibia scars please it would be very kind

You are at my goal AL length! 4cm.

I would say so far you look absolutely great! I would never notice.

thank you so much for the pic man.I must agree that i was thinking just like you (about radius/ulna proportions after AL).But honestly,it looks really good..!

Edit:Did you loose any weight since the time that you posted your last pics?

Even though I could see my hands were hanging lower than they used to, I was super relieved to see the big gap between my bone in the x-rays.  I wasn't expecting the proportions difference to be subtle, so I had myself convinced for a while that I wasn't actually lengthening. 

Yeah I lost muscle, because all I can do now is work out my legs and use the recumbent bike.  My belly is bigger though.

Hi Can you run ? Do you feel pain in legs . Can you walk normally  ? How are your scars ?

Iamready,

How would you describe your overall pain that you experienced during your LEG lengthening with Paley? How much did the medications help and would you reccommend the surgery to others as a result.

Thanks

Guichethope, I won't run until my arms are healed.  I don't want to fall and catch myself with broken arms.  I can walk normally. Scars are ok and would have been better if I took care of them during the process.

Fivesix, I had a painful leg lengthening experience.  The medication does not help as much as you would need it to and it's not great for your body.  I would only recommend the surgery to someone who isn't deterred by the possibility of pain.

Peaceout, Rods in my leg will stay for a year, and I feel great in my legs just tremendous pain in shoulder and neck area as a result of arm lengthening.  I'm done with photo requests.  If i ever want to post a photo I will.  But other than that, I probably won't be posting pictures on this site again.

I am ready. What is your opinion on 8 cm femurs with guichet. Thats only 1 inch 3 cm more then you did on your femurs. And my starting height is 167. I look pretty much like you. Since i cant (obviously) afford 2 let alone 3 surgeries. Im gonna max out 8 cm on femurs. Anyway whats your opinion now that youve done it. And i want to be your height. Its worth the disproportion compared to total height gain right?

What do you mean by taking care of them? What is it that you could had done that you did not do?

Keep it up, you're almost there.
