His legs were normal before lengthening and as you can see, his right tibia is bent outwards after femoral LL.
What happened to him?
Edit: Just noticed that he did his tibia too for 3.5 cm, so it might be related to tibial LL and not femoral LL.
Anyway, how did it happen to him? Are they not using the nails inside the bones to fix them and prevent deformities?
WTF man, this is the weirdest misshape of tibia I've ever seen. How can it bent outwards like that? What the hell has happened during the process?
That's why it's only worth it to do LON femur in Turkey, not LON tibia as you might get deformed lower legs like that.
For tibia it's much better to go in Russia and do Ilizarov only or LATN. There's no way you can end up with deformed lower legs that way unless you mess up something during lengthening or the surgeon is incapable of correcting the bones before frame / nail locking.
There's no way that this one doesn't have some sort of alignment issue post lengthening so it's not related to how he stands due to lengthening being finished very recently. His right tibia looks outright deformed in a very bad way as if something is dragging his leg and he's unable to straighten it.
