I chose a surgeon from Singapore, Dr Sarbjit Singh (Centre for Advanced Orthopaedics Pte Ltd) as he has a strong international reputation and experience. I did my research on internet and journals.
19yo/Male with 51kg weight and 160cm height
Was planning to do femur lengthening for 8cm with Precice Stryde to allow me from walking after operation.
Dr Singh agreed for the desired length (8cm) for my thigh bones using Precice Stryde trochanteric nails/implants after examination and xrays. He mentioned that he has to use trochanteric Precice Stryde nail as I’m below 21yo. I was okay with his recommendations.
My surgery was done in April 2020. My progress was smooth with little pain.
Had physiotherapy sessions once a week for two months during lengthening period.
I shared some of my videos and xray images through the link listed below. Will update next month after my review and latest xrays. I hope I would see more callus formation. Currently, I'm walking without support.
