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.
Thanx man, and thats what I'm doing right now

Quote from: Movie on June 29, 2021, 06:13:08 AMthere's definitely obvious misalignment .. that could very well cause bad consolidation, the doctor made the osteotomy site way too high up in the femur 

The misalignment  coze of  bad doctor, nothing to do  with consolidation.
This happen when you goto third class doctor.

Hey mate, sorry to hear. But for 60k you could have gone to a tier 1 doctor in Europe like Betz or Giotikas. It’s crazy that your Doctor is asking you to stop lengthening at 4.2cm; with precise you could easily do 7+cm. My advice is to go talk to another reputable doctor in Europe or US. Not even sure why you decided to go with a doctor in Saudi - he might be a top notch orthopedist but unless he has done enough LL cases, things will do down south quickly

The reason why do I had it To Saudi, is simply because I'm in Saudi at the current time, and can't go out during Corona, the Doctor I had the  Surgery with has several Successful cases I know myself, and he considered a good doctor, and I thought if I did internal method it will be no complications, people or LLer in this forum are beautify the internal method and they claim if I 5 cm will be safe and that's simply not true even with 1 cm in case of  low experts surgeon. After, I had LL things change in my mind and I did understand why people wait and collect more money just to offer top Doctors, and that's worth it.   

Now My Opinion thats  The  good LL  Doctors are not those whom do  LL successfully, but those whom can deal with complications  successfully

I try to email  Dr. Paply but he repays "I do not get involved in recommendations on other surgeons patients.

Dror Paley, MD, FRCSC
Director"

 IF you know any good Doctor who can offer me even Paid consulting, just help my guys and I will be thankful

I’d also suggest you speak to Dr. Giotikas. I had positive experience with him and he knows his way around dealing with different types of complications related to LL.

Extremely sorry about your case, 60k is the same price as the usa and more than high qualified doctors like giotikas or parihar, it’s sad that doctor practiced on you with such medical negligence

I may be completely wrong, but I believe if you lengthen to 6cm they can take out the precice rods and change it with a weightbearing trauma nail to fix misalignment

Im not sure, If you read my diary I had the distal part of the nail stuck and it was pulling the nail down with the pins, it looked very crooked and after correction surgery it looked ok, this was about 9-10 days ago

Today , I will have a phone call wit my current doctor, and for now, I can walk in waker which makes things better such as speed up the bone growth

However, if you have a direct access to your doctor still I'm looking for another opinion, so in case you  can help , please PM me.


 I have one more complications  thats I feel that my left leg is a bit longer,  but my PT told me that  due to right pelvic tilt and this could be fix during exercise and nothing serious to worry about   ?

You feel like one is longer , I assume you feel the straight leg is longer and the one that has misalignment is shorter?

No, The leg that has misalignment is longer and as my therapist said , this is not an issue, and it's due to right pelvic tilt which can be fixed with exercises.
Today, I called my current doctor, and he told me there is no serious issue except poor bone healing, and in the best-case scenario, if the bone healed well we can continue lengthening, but due to my last x-ray, he is not optimistic about the best-case scenario.

I'm Still waiting for an expert opinion, and still emailing few top  doctors in the world
