Things I can do to increase the chances of success on the operating table?

Quote from: myloginacct on May 10, 2018, 10:44:34 PMBy the time you do LL, Stryde/Precice 3 will have had some good years of experience under its belt.

So theoretically you'd have "good legs" soon. We shall see how Stryde actually fares.

Does this have anything to do with the chances of me ending up dead/permanent disabled on the operating table compared to PRECICE 2? I thought it's just about full-weight bearing and the ability to walk immediately post-op. When I said "a good leg", actually I was referring to a leg that's not broken.

Also, do you think Paley's skills will be significantly improved by that time? Maybe there will be something even more advanced than Stryde!

How does epidural anesthesia favor my nose condition?

Regarding the unilateral, Paley actually said that it's nonsense and he charges 30-40 extra k for 2-stage which means 1/3 of the original price. How difference do you think between unilateral spread one month apart and 6 months apart?

What do yoga, pilates or mixed martial arts have to do with LL again? I am actually talking about 2-3 years prior to surgery.

These questions and statements from you are frighteningly bad.

Why is unilateral nonsense?

I'm thinking of doing LATN so maybe it's a bit different considering it's not weight baring?

Dr. Paley even told you that you have a lot of misinformation. Like I said, frighteningly bad.

I think you're considering external femurs, correct? Very different from unilateral internals.

The reason for recommending unilateral externals over bilateral externals for femurs is because your mobility is severely hindered, substantially lowering the quality of life during recovery. This is not the case for internal femurs; I would totally choose bilateral femurs over unilateral femurs with Precice.

1.6-2% chance of fat embolism syndrome which can be fatal or cause coma/brain death is actually pretty high lol.

he had same response when i bought this up in an email a while back. Yeah hospital fees will increase, but he can't deny the fact is lowers the chance of fat embolism syndrome by a lot. Makes that 2% almost non-existent.

This is why I prefer Dr. Rozbruch over Paley.. he has no problem performing unilateral and understands why a pt would want it. And you can also get a majority of the hospital fees covered with Rozbruch if you have good ppo insurance.

I'm good with those odds. I'm probably more likely to get into a fatal car accident on the way to the clinic.

Is the difference between unilateral and bilateral really 2% and non-existent? Probably it's worth the extra 30-40k.

I wonder why he doesn't encourage unilateral if it's good for the patients' safety and more money for him also.
