Ballerina is very individual by the way! I've lengthened more than 7cm and I had no signs of it, while there was a guy, who lengthened like 3 cm and had a very bad ballerina already. He also couldn't straigthen his legs.
I believe you should try doing PT like 2 hours a day before going for a release surgery. Do it for a few weeks, see if it has any results, and if not...

you do realize that when i say do not reply... or go to sleep.... i know you will reply... i mean, you must have figured this out by now... ever hear the song... I'm your puppet.... great song btw, anyway
nails... who cares,I'm not getting nails.... getting a release, well, don't get me wrong wannabe, i don't doubt your medical qualifications, but perhaps we can see some statistics on cll patients that get releases... plates do not cause knee issues... I've been explicitly told this by more than 1 top dr
as far as him having more flexibility.... you are simply arguing to argue... i can right now, while having ballerina, and 7 months less time to consolidate, squat,etc.... though again, i can't be sure at this moment how flexible he is.... unlike yourself... i'm not all knowing
again wannabe, maybe I'm in denial.. its possible... but you don't seem to have articulated what my future permanent problems will be??? id be in a better position to reply if you actually stated what my long term issues will be... i don't mean to denigrate your obviously vast knowledge of medical knowledge... god forbid... id just like you to enlighten us with some of your wisdom
wannabe, if i'm stupid, as you put it, then what word describes the person that engages in pointless back and forth with said stupid person?
think deeply about this... breathe in and out.... you care far too much about what i think or post.... you're thinking way too much about me... in a way it's flattering, but also a bit creepy .. ......
Crimson i know its hard for you to understand this simple fact..but there is a reason nobody cares about you and that you are alone in this situation.
im sorry i hurt your sensitive feelings, not my intention. I just want other people to know that things like releases and lengthening 8 cm with very little stretching and expecting things to work out is stupid, and completely unrealistic.
Now i know you desperately want someone to care about you which is why you are making silly statements like that. You can believe what you want, if it makes you stop whining. Its definitely creepy though the way you try to convince yourself of things that are completely untrue.
Hi everyone. I see you guys are in a sort of a dispute here.
I'm that "Russian guy" who you are talking about, in person. 
I'd like to explain my point of view.
As for the clinic, I can quote you hundrends of positive comments on Russian boards about the clinic. Let me know if it's needed, you can use any web page translator.
As for my own case, I've never blamed Bagoriv about it, like 99% of cases I've seen are similar to Wannabegiant's case, of course there are always some people who are a bit unlucky, but the contract people sign with the clinic clearly states: it's a risky surgery and there is a change you could have some complications.
So, yes, it's been since September, I've lengthened some 4,5-4,7cm (different on each legs, since they were not of the same length 
) and I still have some problems to walk on one leg, the right one, due to ballerina problems. I've also had a severe infection about a month after the surgery, which of course slowed down the process, but can I blame anybody apart from me about it?
Also different people have different bone consolidation speed ... I've been practicing a lot of sports, healthy life, no smoking, no alcohol ... so I expected to be done by March ... and I'm still waiting to remove at least one of the frames. But again, I'm not blaming anyone apart from bad luck, in fact not even myself, cause I've been doing my best do recover asap.
As for Crimsontide's case, I've offered all sort of advise since the very beginning, we've also had a couple of Skype conversations and some written chat. I've explained the same stuff to Wannabegiant and Crimsontide and as far as I know clinic's assistant Anna had also been in contact with Crimsontide.
I'd say pretty much anyone would know doing more than 4-5cm is risky, you can read that on every forum and personally I've said that personally to you when you said you're up for 8cm ... I've said even 7cm is a lot, so I wouldn't go for 8cm. I've also said you should bend smth soft under the heel, so that you can keep walkig even with a ballerina problem. It's important to keep walking somehow. That was like 2 months ago, I wonder if you did that.
Another thing is that, as I have mentioned in multiple occasions, doing the tendon surgery is not recommended by Bagirov, at least this is the last thing he told me about it. So if there are complications after the surgery, he of course won't be responsible for them
Crimsontide, you are not in a good situation now, but this is a risk we all took, so we should be strong and try to overcome it. If you have any questions, let Anna, Bagirov or even me (although I'm just another patient) know. In fact Bagirov said he could even offer some free days in the clinic, just come for a review, cause he really needs to see you, and fix things with your frames.
Russian Guy, why do you think you still have ballerina and trouble walking? You lengthened so little, and it's been a really long time since your surgery. Did you have really tight Achilles tendons? Did you lengthen too fast? Or is it something else?
Hey OP, hope the operations have gone well. Have you had any complications with your surgery or anything that's gone wrong? I'm relatively new to this forum and looking to lengthen 6-7cm, hopefully in just 1 operation.
How much did you stand up or do PT while lengthening 4+cm?
You should really have recovered much better by now. It can't all be genetics.
Hi crisom,
How are you doing?
cheers paco.
Hey man!
Saw you online several days ago. I'm hoping that you're are feeling much better.
Keep us updated.
ry guys?
)
yes, I'm ok, just felt no need to post... I saw dr rozbruch in new york, and he did x rays
I think i can email him to get them to show you guys???
basically, he was shocked that my bones are healing so well, and that i did not have major complications, other than the equines
he was not a fan of my frames though... everyone that saw me at his clinic asked me where i had gotten them, as they had never seen frames so tight..... the nail outside my leg was very crooked as well, but the bone inside was not... he could only see how much i lengthened on left leg, which was 7.4 cm... other than the equinus, and not nice looking pin sites, no other issues... he even said i could take off frames in 8 weeks possibly... he said the bone was healing well, and lengthening looked ok... to me this just shows that walking is overrated... i have literally not walked in almost 2 months, so if anyone should have awful bone consolidation, it should be me
the equinus was bad though... gonna get it fixed through surgery this week... will also get frames removed and plates put in... can't deal with the pins, especially at the the ankle area... gonna have some not nice scars because of these frame but not a big deal to me
but yeah, I'm ok....
i also don't want to make a big deal about this... but
i appreciate russian guys offer, he's a good person... i just think he'd be better off possibly getting a second opinion... like sweden said.... its been a really long time, it can not be all genetics... if you notice, these frames cause issues for everyone it seems at the ankles... luckily mine is just equinus, and nothing else.... i probably won't be active much, but ill stop by pretty regularly for short periods.... i basically know that my only issue now is the equinus, which I'm thankful for... i was thinking that it could be much wore, but isn't...... unlike russian guy, i can not stay like this over a year and hope for the best.... there comes a time when surgery is a better option than pt and hoping it gets better down the line... I'm willing to risk losing a little strength if i can put my feet on the ground now and walk.... i can not be here year later posting that i still have equinus
