No problem 7-8 cm for tibia.
I dont understand who is telling the truth.
Why would these doctors say that?
Everyone thinks they're telling the truth....it's very, very subjective on how much you can lengthen safely. I'd normally say listen to what Paley says on lengthening amounts since he has the most experience, but the what determines how much you can lengthen depends on how well distraction goes (some factors: dedication to pt, no infections, surgery went well, mental well being to get through pt and isolation, fixation device used, and more).
For example, someone I knew personally did combined tibia and femur 3 weeks apart and gained over 12cm total when Paley only suggests 10cm total for this surgery option. This person was stretching 5-8 hrs a day like it was their full time job and because so, the dr's let them lengthen more than normal since their ROM and other vitals checked out.
Dr's in india aren't as wise and may let tight patients lengthen more than they should....which in turn, creates more risks.

I am really afraid of these complications, even if they have only a small chance. ButI noticed that everyone said that Dr. Paley was the safest doctor, and that 5cm of femur seemed to be a safe extension. so if I go to Dr. Paley for this operation and only do 4-5cm of femur, can this guarantee that I will be safe and sound?

Sorry for the delay, but unfortunately not. Nothing is guaranteed, not even with femurs which IS A SAFER OPTION. Look at programdudes diary, he went to paley, had it removed by dr R, and his leg still snapped 4 months after rod removal.
Yet, you will increase your chances of a successful surgery and recovery by going with better doctors. Much of it after a successful surgery is your determination to stretch and trust in the process while in more pain than you've ever been in before.
You have 2 options. Do it and take what lottery ticket you get, or don't and try to come to terms with your height. Not trying to be harsh, js...it surely is a difficult decision.

Hi, I got this in my inbox yesterday about Dr Giotikas' new research on the Stryde complication.

Looking at the post immediately above, in pure strictly logical terms, I don’t believe so. Dr. Paley participated in Stryde development.
I don’t even understand why he's not active in contributions to clarify the issue, as Dr. Giotikas appeals to all colleagues.
And nevertheless, in surgery practice and as a doctor, Paley seems undoubtedly one of the best.

Instead, this is more like how a healthy athlete/person who gets in a serious injury, such as in a sporting accident or car accident, and has to undergoes traumatic surgery which cuts open, damages, scars (internally and externally) and alters the natural body...sure they may recover to a point...but they will never be like their PRE-surgical / PRE-injured self.
Unfortunately no. Medical technology has come a long way since the advent of rando polish “physicians” medical tech. NuVasive and (I guess Betz) have developed a system that; if implemented would allow even an athlete (taking the right pharmaceuticals) to return back to novel function. LL != becoming irreversibly crippled. It’s 2023. You just need to be working with an elite physician. In medicine you get what you pay for.

I did the LL in Cairo with dr. Yasser Elbatrawy .There were many problems during lengthening period due to his irresponsibility ! He is the most dangerous person i have ever met in my life...
I am in touch with two of his patients who did the surgery the same period with me.Both have mobility problems.

None of them is anywhere near as horrible as being short... I'd rather choose Smallpox Ebola Parkinson Blindness and Osteocarcinoma than being short tbh...

you have to be a troll dude. stop saying this stupid . you better be 3'2 or something to have this kind of opinion. I understand being short is also the greatest pain in my life but that doesnt mean being blind or having Parkinson's or whatever other thing wouldnt be worse still.
