TIBIA LENGTHENING IN MOSCOW WITH DR BAGIROV

Edit Post

What if there's complications during lengthening period?  Pin site infection, ballerina foot  etc.

Dont see how I can lose 1 cm with external. ....  Once you lengthen a certain amount I don't understand how it is possible to shrink.    I think that maybe  patients think they have lengthened let's say 6 cm but in reality only lengthened 5 cm, but I can't see how you shrink to 5 cm  if you actually  lengthen 6 cm. Jerry. The Dr said ballerina is caused by 2 things.  The first is the  fault of the surgeon. The second is if you don't do the exercises that are prescribed. ,He says it won't be an issue if I simply follow his instructions.  The thing he emphasized most was keeping the  legs straight and not bending the knees.  Pin site infections are very minor and easily taken care of.

Hello,,..

I wonder why didn't you choose LON or LATN, since Dr.BAGIROV can use internal nail too?

Edit Post

As far as I know, Dr Bagirov does not offer lon or latn.

RGKEY  asked him and he said yes, he is performing LON, and LATN..
oh wait not sure if it's LON or LATN, but he can perform nail inside ..

I think you are confusing Dr. Barinov with Dr. Bagirov.

RGKEY did his surgery with Dr. Barinov.

Im pretty sure Dr. Bagirov does not perform LON or LATN.

I think it's known as pin site loss.   The theory is that standing up & walking put weight on the bones which compress it and decreases the gain height.   Correct me if I'm wrong.

pin pending is something different, with Bagirovs frames as they have fewer but thicker pins, pin bending can mean you "lose" 3 mm at most according to Bagirov, but you simply turn more to make up for that.

However losing 1 cm is different, that is a risk with subsidence, which can happen after frame removal with externals only. However it seems 1 cm loss is pretty rare and it also depends on how long you stay in the frames until you remove them.
