Quote from: California2 on March 26, 2019, 07:46:00 PMSounds like you should talk with your MD. You did not have a procedure that would effect your ability to move your lower leg from your hip or your knee. Is the problem in your head rather than your body?
this forum keeps amazing. here is another prime example of a mentally defective human being.
56years of age. hip replacement. does LL in russia.
When someone (Big Decision) has nerve damage, which is appearently common amongst russian LL surgeons. He comes out to give his sh!tty opinion that its all in his head.
A LLer cannot feel his legs anymore!! and you write this?
edit:
also take ur sh!tty diary and shove it up ur neanthertal ass. This diary only promotes the savages in Russia. How many drop foots and serious complications should we have before you stop promoting?
St. Petersburg Lengthening -- DISTRACTION COMPLETED
Oh Dear! Does BladeRunner need a cuddle?
Or, are you merely jealous that I did something very successfully that you only talk about?
Please share your dumbass uninformed comments with someone else.
Big Decision didn't say he cannot feel his feet. He wrote that he cannot lift his leg from the hip nor can he extend his lower leg from the knee while seated.
These complaints do not appear to be associated with LL surgery.
Big Decision knows why he is having challenges--it has very little to do with his surgery.

He said he could not feel his right foot , do you know what is peroneal nerve damage? It could be done during surgery , like in this case , and he is not the only one who reported this issue , so stop bum liking your doctor , you are ok , then you are lucky but dont come here to fk others that hasnt got the luck you had because it only shows your lack of empathy.

Now the dumbasses are stacking up.
You have no idea how much time and empathy I devoted to Big Decision--more uniformed commentary.
The peroneal nerve wraps from the back of the knee to the front of the shin. Even if it was SEVERED, it would only effect function BELOW the knee.
Big Decision says he cannot lie on his back and raise his leg from the hip. He also says he cannot extend his lower leg while seated.
The above symptoms do NOT appear to implicate "nerve damage" or the peroneal nerve at all.
Your uninformed opinions combined with your vulgarity merely make you look juvenile and ignorant.
Hey guys, let me clear things up.
My feet are numb, the right one is completely numb, I hardly feel anything when I touch or massage it.
My feet are like dead flesh hanging from my body, the right one is worse, I can move my left toes and I feel more when I touch my left foot.
That being said, I don't have control over my feet, so if I lift them up to the air with my hands and release them at once, they will drop down to the floor.
I didn't have this problem when I had frames on.
I hope this clear things up.
I wonder if you are leaving out some important details?
When did you stop distraction?
What amount did you distract?
When did you begin corrections?
When were corrections completed?
Did you correct a leg length discrepancy? If so, how much over what period of time.
When was your final surgery?
Was your final surgery LON or LATN?
When you lie flat on your back, with your legs out straight, can you lift one foot off the floor from your hip?
Before your final surgery, could you lie flat on your back, with your legs out straight, and lift one foot off the floor from your hip?
Some numbness after surgery is very normal. Inability to move your feet or toes after surgery is also normal.
It is NOT normal to be able to do single leg lifts before surgery but not after. However, no aspect of a LON second surgery or a LATN surgery would effect your ability to move your leg from the hip.
By saying your feet im assuming just your feet and not your entire leg. If so then yes you definitely
Have nerve damage. Exact same thing happened to me when i first did my left tibia. After nailing i woke up and my foot was like you describe, a piece of flesh just there. The damage was minor and i recovered feeling and touch within 2 months. After nailing of my left femur, nerve damage occured again on same side and i again woke up with no movement in my left foot. This time it took 5 months before i started gaining movement and feeling again. I have regained about 90% of movement and 30% feeling on that left foot. Nerve damage can take up to a year to fully recover.
Best thing to do right now is get an mri and have them check to see if your nerves are still attached. If only stretching was done then you should expect to recover to a certain extent. Patience is key here. I know what your feeling as i went thru the same thing
I am troubled by the frequent complaints of "nerve damage" in this forum. I write this because it is very normal (and expected) that surgery AND lengthening produce swelling. Swelling is one of the body's natural responses to trauma.
Swelling can compress nerves. Compressed nerves often cannot transmit signals as effectively as non-compressed nerves. However, this is a very normal and temporary condition even if it takes a year to resolve. Such conditions do NOT constitute nerve "damage" per se; that is, nothing is wrong with the nerve--it is merely compressed by swelling.
MRI is not usually the first test for nerve conduction--in fact, MRI is generally used mainly to check for nerve root compression. Normally, the first tests would be a nerve conduction study or an EMG.
However, Big Decision is less than a month out of surgery so it seems far too early to perform any nerve studies.
I am more interested in understanding Big Decision's complaints of inability to control his legs ABOVE the knee.
When did you stop distraction? One week before surgery
What amount did you distract? 7.5
When did you begin corrections? I had one week of correction
When were corrections completed?
Did you correct a leg length discrepancy? If so, how much over what period of time.
I had 5mm of dicrepancy, and I corrected in same day by distracting 5mm on right leg. Reckless decision
When was your final surgery? It's been 9 days
Was your final surgery LON or LATN? LATE
Thanks Jim, good to hear from you,
Only my feet have this problem and they still have a lot of swelling going on.
Yeah it feels like some weights been attacked to your feet, so you can't lift your feet.
To Big Decision:
When you lie flat on your back, with your legs out straight, can you lift one foot off the floor from your hip?
