Hello everyone

I'm 25 year old guy from Saudi arabia.
I have been reading a lot on this forum since 2 years and after a lot of reasrching i found doctor in armenia who provide the classical ilizarov method for reasonable price.
I did contact with the hospital in armenia via whatsApp and this is their answer :

6 cm tibias lengthening by the classical Ilizarov method (https://legslengthen.com/services/limbs-lengthening-tibias-lengthening-single-cut/) will take 7 months and cost $ 20,500 ($11,400 for medical expenses, $9,100 for medical fees).

If you have shortage of time we can offer you lengthening over the nail (LON)( https://legslengthen.com/services/lengthening-over-the-nail/)  or lengthening and then nailing (LATN) method (https://legslengthen.com/services/latn/) methods. Simultaneous tibias lengthening will take 3 months and cost $ 21,900 ($18,000 for medical expenses, $3,900 for medical fees).

The above mentioned prices cover all medical expenses, including pre-surgical clinical and radiological examinations, surgeries, one hour of training with the physical therapist every day (6 days a week), up to 7 days at hospital after the surgery, transportation from and to hospital, and accommodation expenses, including staying at a comfortable apartment with care, 3 meals/day, cleaning, laundering, WiFi, etc. 

Nails removal is not mentioned in the price. Nails should be removed in 6-12 months after the lengthening when bone consolidation is completed according to radiological examination.


I'm more consern to do the classical ilizarov because it's a lot safer.

please inlighten me with your advices.


Thank you
