there is a malalignment for the left which should not be increased more than this if you lengthen more. which mean I should stop forever,  I will try to take one more  opinion to be sure about my case, coze my doctor he only told me this due to slow or poor bone healing and he never mention about  the malalignment !!

Was gonna say that about your xray.  One of it is definitely crooked. Sorry man. LL is already Hard enough without all this run around a and talks of complications but it is a RISK you were aware of. Listen to your body first then Follow doctor orders because of anything goes wrong ONLY YOU will suffer through it not the doctor or any of us on this forum. 33 isn’t a old age at all.

I hope everything goes well for you. Consult another doctor and see what they say. Also ask your current doctor if they can reinstate the nail(I don’t know if that’s possible) but if it is I’d look into that.
Best of wishes.

I think you should listen to doctor and stop. You have already had 4.5cm. That's more than halfway of 8 possible cm. It doesn't make sense to risk your lifelong wellbeing for 1.5cm.

At Paley they may even ask you to shorten back to 3.5cm, as they are very risk averse.

so far I reach 4.2 before stop lengthening last week,  and I can stand and walk with a walker with no problem, of course, needs time to wake wall.  Today, My younger brother noticed that I got taller even if it was just  4.2 cm, which is a good sign.  My recent goal was to hit  5 cm at least . But for now, it does not worth the risk  agin just for 0.8mm.  Simply, I should accept the truth that my LL dost does not  achieve its goals ( 6 cm or more ).   

In case I did not length more, the only risk I'm taking  now is poor bone healing which will be solved with time.  I will wait to consult another doctor and see what he says, and I will be updating you.

I pay something like 60K for this surgery, and I waited many years to offer internal nails to avoid complications and ends up with a better result.

 So far my advice that  LL  should be done only under top doctors in the world who only do and focus  LL.   I'm Not Mad at the money I spend as much the  malalignment in the left leg if the doctor notices this problem in the first place why he still not mention it ?? he just says that due to poor bone healing !!   I will wait and see and I will update you guys.

Damn man, sorry about your experience. Like others have suggested all you can do is move from there. Up your protein intake by A LOT. Optimum Nutrition Whey Protein is a good one. Start taking vitamins amongst other things. Up your physio but carefully. I pray you come out of this sound and safe.

I had  my surgery  done  in Saudi Arabia, the arrangement  was done during corona where I could not go out , I did not know how much  the price of precise nail with Dr Paley  , any knows?

Personally,  I have no problem telling my Doctor  name , but its in Saudi it is  illegal to mentions any one name baldy via  Social media which called  "libel", and this is make a bit sense , coze I might laying or in companions  with the doctor or I'm not real his Patient.

 my Doctor  consider as one of the best  Orthopedic surgeon and still I  think he is , but after I had  LL , the LL surgeon should  be only  doing    LL and focuses on it.
 This is not  an easy procedure guys , if your surgeon  is not top expert and well -known in the  field of LL  , its just  not worth the risk. my surgeon was trained under Paley as he told me ,    but if  you can go Dr Paley himself  why in the earth  go for to his  students??? and spend 60K NO matter what they think of themself???

Yeah. Saudi Arabia. India all those third world countries should always be avoided. Even Turkey was a huge risk for me but I read up on the man plus they’re quite active on YouTube and IG which gave me a bit of confidence.

In Saudi, we consider India and Turkey  are sort of cheap and dangerous places  to have medical treatment in . In general,  Saudi healthcare are very  good, and hospital is very clean, service  like 5 starts hotel, I hadn't  any  problem with that , I like the hospital and service everything, so it is  not fair  to compare  Saudi  with India.

But, in terms of  LL , Yes goto top doctor  in    (1) USA, (2) Europe (3) South Korean where Doctor  are expert  .

there's definitely obvious misalignment .. that could very well cause bad consolidation, the doctor made the osteotomy site way too high up in the femur
