The Doctor's threat

Edit Post

I never speak about Coop

Just a quick question?

Can someone explain me How fibula can migrate proximally?
Before osteotomy we put a 3,5 tib fib screw. Plus there are The ligaments at The syndesmosis and ankle joint (lluser syndesmosis Is The joint between tib and fib).

Preop deformity of The tibia Is critical When doing internals. Tibia vara with external torsion Is tricky. And This Is what happened.

He Also mentions non union. 4-5 months after surgery. This Is pointless.

Of course he Is angry. Me as well. I want all patients To be well. This guy Is same Age as me and he s got s beautiful Family. But he decided To go elsewhere for correction.

That's the same with any other doctor. If we had one LLuser1 to each doctor this forum would be a circus lol.

That is so true! The way he lets you lengthen your tibia's 8cm+ and then says "Don't you worry your pretty little head, should a problem arise I can just slice open your Achilles Tendon and lengthen that as well, you"ll be back to normal in jiffy"

I just don't understand why more people don't go to such a safe a logical surgeon? The world is just full of mysteries I guess...

 He is the guy who taught Paley about LL when Paley went to Italy for a fellowship about the Ilizarov technique...
   Even recently, Paley went to a conference in Australia alongside most top notch limb lengthening surgeons (including Catagni) and posted a picture on his site calling Catagni his mentor.
  He does let you lengthen 8cm... what's the problem here?

Gee wiz, I don't know, but I'm willing to take a shot at this one....

First, you pick up that space age device known as your smartphone. Second, you go to Google scholar. Third, you type in Paley or Rozbrusch. Fourth, you read the dozen or so articles about tibia lengthening authored by those two surgeons.

Fifth and finally, you look up into the clouds and ask yourself "How in the world am I allowed to operate on people with such a lack of education and training?"

Nothing, absolutely no problem whatsoever in lengthening 8cm+ on your tibia's, and then surgically lengthening your Achilles Tendon. Please....Everybody knows 8cm + on the tibia's is child's play. Not to mention Achilles Tendon surgery. That is a walk in the park, it's like getting a flu shot.

There is practically zero risk of any debilitating complications with this well thought out plan. You'll be back to your old self and engaged in physical activities before you can say "crippled for life"...

 It's not a child'splay.. But it's neither debilitating... About ACL, it's a routine procedure done for many problems including achilles rapture. It's not a complicated procedure...
  I wonder on what you base anything you say... Surely he knows better than you... Just read his curriculum... One of the best limb lengthening surgeons in the world regarding Ilizarov
