Can you ask Dr. Debiparshad, the cost of femur lengthening with the precise 2.2 nail and if his place offers physical therapy sessions with the precise and same for Dr. Conway? Also what’s the difference between stryde and precise 2 In terms of months for being able to walk with a normal gait if lengthening at normal rate throughout distraction with no complications assumed.
Where can a potential patient find the probabilities of various adverse outcomes (like infections, pulmonary embolism, fat embolism, nerve damage) of this procedure at your practice?
In the past year or two I have noticed a shift in the amount of length surgeons recommend. The recommended safe lengthening amount was based on percentage of the original bone length, usually 15% was recommended if I remember right. (Femurs). Now I only hear doctors saying it’s case by case but most patients can achieve 8cm. I wonder if there is too much emphasis on this static maximum number, because everyone wants the max length for the money being payed. I also wonder if surgeons feel the need to say that most people can achieve 8cm otherwise potential patients will go elsewhere. Or maybe there is just more info that 8cm is generally achievable for most patient? Thank you!

Like who knew him in 2017? 2016?2015?2014? Not sure of 2018 and 2019 either ...
Giotikas is 46 or 47 years old, he couldn't have been as renowned as other surgeons much older than him in the previous years. From 2012 until 2019 he worked full time at two of the biggest and most respected institutions of the UK National health System, Cambridge and Oxford University Hospitals. You can't be just anybody if you want to work at these places!
For physical therapy, all I did was stand against a wall or sit with straight legs with sand bags on my knees. I also slept with a pillow under my knees, with the knees slightly bent every night.
As far as I know my recovery was slower but was eventually as complete as anyone else's in the long run. The tradeoff was that I was much more comfortable the whole lengthening phase and slept a lot better than any of my cohorts.
Is a faster recovery all patients are getting in exchange for expensive physical therapy sessions? What do you think of my comfort-first, take-it-easy approach?
That’s really heavy news about the unfortunate patient. I assume this has been officially confirmed? I wonder if there are legal implications from the case that might prevent him to speak about it? I’ll see what I can do.
Besides those directly stated, I’ll best match questions with a surgeon’s Q&A interview.
Thanks for all the great questions keep them coming.
Yes please please ask giotikas about what went wrong with that patient who died. Many know that he stopped blood thinners early. I want to see how giotikas answers it.does he take fault or blame a dead patient who can't defend himself.
Can you add a separate google form for each doctor? Right now it's taking questions only for Debiparshad.

Yeah i doubt hell talk about it if its a legal matter which any attorney would tell you not to do that. Also can someone post a credible link for this news if it's true.
Yeah Antonio111111 I asked if they could speak on this if I ask the question. Not sure how much detail he can go into so guess we'll see.
Sorry about that two. I just fixed it here's a new Google Forms link for all upcoming surgeons: https://forms.gle/YjwxiZNkgLRLRBVJ6
Also here are the links for the LL livestreams this week.
Dr. Debiparshad and Mike "The PT"
