Quote from: crimsontide on January 17, 2015, 11:36:58 PMdecided on going with rozbruch, even though I have to get a different insurance and pay a higer premium... should have done it  earlier tbh

I'm in nyc, rozbruch is the best, and he's actually a decent person... I wanna make sure I have 100% function in the future, and eel more confident going with dr rozbruch

Also, the taylor spatial frame used is actually consoderably more advanced... I only need 2 rings for correction... every other dr said at least 3, possibly 4...   


Here is my advice for future llers...  Even though I had a decent/good result, and will have  95-100% function, I would not recommend going  out of europe/ usa for this  procedure

I know  that for many of you, this means you would not be able to afford it, but it's my current view...

Yeah, that's exactly why doing LL in India or Russia is dumb. Ilizarov-frames aren't being used for over 10+years in first world countries, because the Taylor-Spatial-Frame is far superior.

I agree.. the standard of care is better in Singapore/usa/Europe/the more advanced countries like korea.
but whilst Singapore is well known for its medical standards, I am  just not sure about the limb lengthening (just as korea is better for cosmetic surgery than SG)
at this point of time, I do not regret going out of SG to do surgery.

 also want to point out something


while ill be ok even though i went out of the states for surgery... it was still a bad idea... I got lucky...

i had bad equinus, infections, swollen ankles, bent leg,etc

I was lucky.... others are not  so lucky... if you decide to do it in russia or india,etc... you might not be as lucky

luckily I do not have equinus or bent leg.. or swollen ankle

Edit Post

minor pin site infections, nothing serious


equinus was fixed acutely... no more swollen ankles because of it

I'm planning for Dr. Bagirov this year (2015) , I hope the price doesn't differ from 6500 euro too much. I'm thinking of 7.5 Cm or less because im only 163 Cm tall and it makes me feel bad everyday. I had studied LL for a year now and it's the money that's holding me back but now I think I'm ready. Is someone else going for Dr. Bagirov?
I'd just E'mailed Anna today hoping for a response .

to those comparing external vs internal vs lon,heres some info

my knees do not hurt... but i did external, and i just tried an exercise  where i had to stretch by putting one knee on the ground, and stretch out the other leg

this was on a hardwood floor... i wasnt in pain, but it definitely was not comfortable... i think ll in general makes your lower limbs more sensitive

Edit Post

tried to post video yesterday

i woke up todaf exercising yesterday...  veryhumid today... and i feel like im 100 years old when i had to get up and walk

 forget my left leg alignment issue for a second

my feet/ankles just feel very very achey.... wouldnt classify it as pain, but sore and achey


its depressing tbh.....i dont have equinus anymore... if i do, its extremely minor...  yet my feet feel like  

if it doesnt get better,  i cant say dont get surgery... being short sux.... and it does take more than 12 months to get better from 7.5 cm tibia lengthening

feeling this way really really sux though.... and x rays show my feet/ankle to be normal... but its like im an old man impacted by weather,exercise

i guess i should do more pt, but others that did little feel fine... of course after many years

hoping this gets better....  feel like sweden

just went over swedens diary

and fro my own experience... and rgkey, and friend in russia.... not ure about medium drink of water, as that part of his diary isnt up yet

but this whole thing looks like it takes up to 2 years to get fully normal

if you look at swden... he had surgery june 2013... in  almost may of 2014, he posted he was about 55% better


last post in his diary was feb 2015 and he seems much better, but thats over 2 years

rgkey  is i think 18 months out, not 100% yet...im 12 months out.... russian friend took at least 15-16 months just to walk normally and hs not 100% now at 17 months... kilokahn will likely take a year just to walk unaided

i hope people read this and have realistic expectations.........   lengthening over 6 cm, around 7 cm... but even less sometimes, means you will most likely need 24 months or so to  get back to whatever your  maximum is going to be

don't try to fool yourself
