SURGERY TO GET INSTANT 3 CM HEIGHT GAIN!!

Edit Post

Really? Is this true?

No troll. Serious method

Edit Post

It is a serious method but has its own limitations and risks but also advantages. For people who just want minimal quick lenghthening or just to even out proportions than it can be quite a useful method.
The main conundrum is finding an experienced surgeon who is practicing this method.

Here's a paper I just read:
http://www.bjj.boneandjoint.org.uk/content/74-B/2/275.full.pdf

"Unsatisfactory results were seen in half of the group with miscellaneous conditions. This reflected the temptation to extend the application of this technique to length inequalities outside the limited scope of hemipelvic lengthening."

As a current LL patient who spent 10 years researching and reading countless diaries before feeling comfortable enough to do LL, I'd hate to be the first pelvic lengthening diary.

I realize this is an older post, but there must be some catch to it if even the shady, money hungry LL "doctors" aren't performing it.

Does anyone know of any surgeons performing this.

But the purpose of this post was not to say this is a good method rather to instigate debate and do more research using all our combine resources.

A test group where 23 patients underwent LL to correct limb length discrepancies over 2 year period almost 2 decades ago.This method actually existed and those of you are interested can read about the results here: http://www.bjj.boneandjoint.org.uk/content/74-B/2/275.full.pdf

Based on the information i gathered i highlighted the pros and cons of this procedure in my Opening post. Please feel free to poll your surgeons or other pelvic surgeons and gather/share information here.

Ctrl + F "minor complications" in that link (third page and section on the right). This all sounds very good compared to femur/tibia lengthening.

However, I think this technique can only be used for leg discrepancies. At least, there was no indication in that pdf of it being used to treat anything but leg discrepancies.

One of the references cited Paley in 1988, and, interestingly enough, he mentioned some bone grafting limb lengthening techniques back then:

http://www.paleyinstitute.org/media/file/Current%20techniques%20of%20limb%20lengthening.pdf

Their prognosis seemed much worse than the technique discussed in this thread, but I haven't finished reading the whole thing.

I think if anyone wants to truly know more about this and its potential for CLL, they'd ideally have to manage to get in contact with Dr. Paley somehow and ask him directly.

Does anyone know about the synotes website. They have what they call a third generation device and it seems very promising. They claim full weight bearing on the first day.
