Will he implant in you a bone he has taken from your body? Would you lengthen every day 1mm at once? Wishing you good luck. stay strong 💪
He will implant a normal nail for the right femur with full weight-bearing and Not lengthening nail, the case as the doctor explained now my bone is very weak, so he does not want to open new focus, he just wants to focus now to fix the issue with a broken nail and deal with the non-union for the left side, and after full bone healing, he will lengthen the right side with two options, 1- just use the existing nail in the right femur and use an external nail for fix the discrepancy ( LON ) which he recommended as external full weight-bearing and I can walk next day. I just want to fix the issue with the broken femur and later on, I think I will lengthen both femures with an internal nail.
It is very complected now as you deal with a serious issue not a cosmetic lengthening
Should I Stop at 4.5 cm due to poor bone healing ?

I agree with you, and I do understand the saying very well : )
those types of doctors only want to be super rich so fast, those people if they were successful lying to you they would feel somehow smart about it, and if the surgery somehow failed, they start blaming the patient or only say that Allah loves you and this complication might be the good for you for more rewards from Allah, as the only way to get rewards are to suffer from the broken leg and other menus of impairments waiting for you
I'm in Egypt right now, not for LL surgery, I'm here for fixing my complications at least, there is no time now for traveling to Dr. Paley or other top doctors now.
tell me you doctor thank you

Sure, You can DM me, I will let you know his name
I will file a complaint against him, and my lawyer suggested not mentioning his name in public, so he will not claim that I'm trying to use defamation.

update,
I did my surgery on the right side ( a broken femur) three weeks ago, and an x-ray was taken last week, doctor replaced the broken nail with a normal rod. With this procedure, I already fixed the deformity that occurred with the first lengthening surgery. still, my right side is shorter than the left side around two cms and I should be waiting for good healing before Lengthen then Lengthen over the same nail (LON), or replace it with a new precise nail ( 12.4 mm ).
I had my surgery with a free public hospital, I did not have it with dr Yasser in Cairo cause he want to do bone grat and insert normal road which I did in a public hospital the same without bone grat and for free.
To avoid the nail being broken, I did shortening the left side and still, there is a risk. Total gain height is almost 3.5 on the left side, and around most 2.5 on the right side, the right side initially is shorter than the left in 0.6 before lengthening surgery.
result:
1) on year on wheelchair and walkers
3.5 total gain hight
2) limping on the right side and needing more surgery to fix limping on the right side.

update after almost 3 years post op
my x ray
https://ibb.co/6wdb0G0
have fully recovered and am now considering a new surgery on my right femur to correct my limp. The plan is to implant a precise nail in the right femur, lengthening it by 3.2 cm to match the length of the left femur. Additionally, I am contemplating undergoing a lengthening procedure on both femurs. This would allow me to extend the left femur by an extra 2 cm, resulting in a potential lengthening of the right femur by up to 5.2 cm
I'm concerned about my proportions. Currently, here are my measurements. What are your thoughts? Should I focus solely on correcting the limp, or should I consider additional lengthening? Please note that I've already lengthened my left femur by 4 cm before the nail in my right femur broke
Right Leg:
Tibia to Femur Ratio = Right Tibia Length / Right Femur Length
Tibia to Femur Ratio = 33.7 / 40.9 ≈ 0.825
Left Leg:
Tibia to Femur Ratio = Left Tibia Length / Left Femur Length
Tibia to Femur Ratio = 33.8 / 44.2 ≈ 0.765
So, the tibia to femur ratio for the right leg is approximately 0.825, and for the left leg, it is approximately 0.765.
what do you think?
The cost will run u about 80k. I will go for lengthening both legs to the same. One side slower than the other. If they already operating on u why not just do the full surgery. At least it will keep u busy and ur going to go through physical therapy so both leg can be worth it.
