Small LLD correction with Dr. Rozbruch

its been 10 months and there was early callus formation but the nail is not stable so most probably it wont heal but u never know.
+ i have 9 mm in femur now and 5 mm in tibia and ankle so a total of 14 mm. without an insole of at least 7 mm u can easily notice the length difference when i am walking and forget about doing sports without insole and even with insole u ll be restricted.

Hi, Hamza. Did you do the surgery with Betz? Did you insert solid trauma nail? How are you doing?

Hello,

I will do the surgery in October with Dr Agustin Betz.
U recommend this doctor ? some patients said he is good other said he is bad.

I know the same as you. Some people say he is good, some people say he is bad. I don't have experience with him. I don't like to recommend or unrecommend any doctor, because I think it's a very personal and important decision.

I'm just curious about your situation and just hope you will be fine soon.

I really think it’s soooo dangerous to lengthen 10mm at once when replacing nail
Why don’t you send emails with your X-rays and info to other CLL doctors such as Kohne, Paley, Donghoon Lee, Hamilton
They’ll give you ideas of what’s good and bad

I agree with TemakiSushi about look for other doctors opinion. As your case is not cosmetic, maybe see a doctor who does not do cosmetic (like Franz Birkholtz). Maybe, depending where you are located, you can even get this correction for free in the public health system of your country.

when i visisted dr rozbruch 1 year after the surgery he suggested the same solution. in fact he gave me 3 options:

1. trauma nail and cutting again and re gain 10 mm and bone grafting if needed.

2. stryde nail and go 1 mm per day as before.

3. accept to modify my shoes like before surgery by 10 mm which is not an option for me.

do u suggest to have a third consultation ?

In my country they will also use a solid nail as we dont have all the magnetic nail in the market. this kind of surgeries is rare in my country and no one of the doctors showed me a good knowledge in my case. rozbruch and betz was more convincing and they r much more experienced.

It is not as dangerous or unusual to lengthen 10mm in one go. With good musculature flexibility it is very much possible. Most LL doctors actually do lengthen you 4/5mm at the beginning to ensure there is no pre-mature consolidation and also that nail is working fine. I would go with this option to get it lengthened in one go and get a solid nail inserted.

19,000 euro in my case for correction

wow, thats a theft. Look into correction in your country in most EU countries this correction should not cost more than 10k euros and in some it will be covered/done for free. This is not such a complicated procedure and Any respectable orthopedic surgeon who deals with deformity/corrections of lower limbs should be able to deal with it adequately.

My suggestion would be to avoid CLL doctors as there prices are astronomical and you dont really need CLL doctor to perform it. please refer to my last post on this.

At least Dr Kohne is in Munich
I would contact the doctors I listed by email
You don’t loose anything by sending emails, better ask for prices also
