TIBIA LENGTHENING IN MOSCOW WITH DR BAGIROV

Edit Post

Hi crisomtide:
Thank you for your update.
Sorry for your bent leg. you think it would be better with intramedullary nail.
cheers paco.

and since it was dr shas idea to  put casts on... instead of plating... i expect not to have to pay to get this done


i'll let everyone know how it goes


 it sux i gotta wear a frame for like 2 or 3 months, but whatever, only 1 leg... ill live

paco,


yes... but if i wouldve kept frames on longer, maybe just 2 months more, it wouldve been fine


the only reason i was going to have a nail was that i had achilles surgery and left leg wasnt fully healed... right leg healed very quickly


but the dr  suggested weareing a full leg cast instead, without plating


i agreed... he said it would be ok


well.... it aint.... its obviously bent... no pain or anything, but i need to take care of it


im assuming the only way to resolve it is by wearing a fixator on left leg for maybe 3 months


cant say im too happy about this, but its life... and could be worse.... ill heal quickly, as im not lengthening.... its just a bit annoying

you have to be ostimistic.
Where do you do your surgery to fix your bent leg?
i'm planing my surgery with doctor salameh but my concern is about this. My fear is to bend leg or lose height without intramedullery nail.
Very,very good luck with your recovery.

dont worry about height loss


but bent leg... yes

but truthfully, u just wear the fixator for like over 12 months, will be ok... but its torture


im not sure where ill get it... my feeling is dr shah should do it... as its his fault... but we will see


im just wonering how long ill have to have this thing on

This surgery for lengthenig looks like very hard

Edit Post

well...


thats what wveryone says


its derfinitely harder than just realignment.... what makes lenghening hard is the tissue stretching

Edit Post

how much did you lengthening? i think 7cm

Edit Post

Hey crimsontide . Hope you get better. You know who i am . We talked by skype some times.Get It done and be patient

for lengthening 5 or 5,5cm you would recomend only external or LON.
