Hey Infinity, since you did this much research on pelvic lengthening, were you planning to have the procedure?
Another common theme in LL: going faster is slower, and cheaper becomes more expensive.
This surgery seems to defy that logic.
Quote from: Infinity on December 04, 2015, 09:39:53 PMI assume you are aware that transiliac lengthening does not touch spine and is not a complicated surgery with very fast bone regeneration due to adequate blood supply in that region. The key risk is nerve injury due to lengthening 2-3 cm during the surgery.
Yeah, I am not going to risk that but good info nonetheless.
For what it seems, my biggest bet for the future of leg lengthening is SYNOSTE, they are developing a painless method, it takes 2 years to finish, but allows full wight barring and you can do all the process in home using magnets.
For me that is thinking on doing in 4-5 years that is what I`m hoping for

Yes, i am provided there is a respected surgeon out there who is still practising this technique and has results to show for. I would like to see his complication percentage risk of nerve injury cases.
Disclaimer: i already had one segment lengthened couple of years ago this is for my second procedure.
Also to keep in mind this surgery has limited lengthening scope and will appeal only to people who are looking to get about an inch (2-3 cm) of lengthening. As per the information i gathered max possible would be around 3 cm but i have been informed surgeons would probably lengthen somewhere between 2-3 cm.
The method looks legit, but also not so great:
"Postoperative care: The patient is protected with crutches for a minimum of 3 months..."

Also, it looks that it has only been used for leg discrepancies (only one leg lengthened). Is it suitable for cosmetic bilateral lengthening?

All lengthening techniques are primarily developed and used for LL discrepancies, this one is no different.

Well I'm happy there isn't. I would thouroughly miss LL's proportion nazi.
