Did you end up getting humerus lengthening with Dr. R? Forearm lengthening is impossible AFAIK.
i want humerous lengthening maybe one inch. but dunno how my arms will be . in so much pain i can imagine. ill have 5'8 wing span by then.
HSS is quite poor, i would not go there
I recently had therr a corrective surgery for ankle where all the weight was put on one fibula bone in one spot. Because of this, all the pins were placed in one area, creating a huge scar around them. Now, I'm dealing with chronic pain, and it feels like there's no end in sight.
The surgeon barely put any effort into my treatment. It seems like he just wanted to get paid by the insurance. He made quite a lot from my surgery but didn't even bother to meet with me beforehand to discuss my options again, even though he said he would. Instead, he went straight to surgery on a Friday evening, and it was super delayed.
. I'm stuck in this awful situation and need to find a way out fast. This whole thing has messed up my chances of getting decent treatment elsewhere.
I am going to local hospital to remove the metal where it is the most painful and will look for other treatment options t
There was little interest in following through to ensure I achieved a functional, pain-free outcome. This money-driven approach. the focus seemed to be more on achieving textbook corrections rather than addressing my specific needs as a patient. The operated leg didn’t match my healthy leg or my functional goals, leaving me with pain and mobility issues.
What’s more concerning is that after my initial surgery, it felt like my case lost priority once the insurance payments were collected.
I’ve noticed that this company is often named the number one provider in limb-lengthening and reconstructive surgery. However, based on my experience, I find it hard to understand how this ranking is achieved. If cases like mine—where textbook corrections lead to functional issues, and follow-up care seems to lose priority after insurance payments—are not rare, how is this level of service considered the best? Can someone clarify what criteria are used to determine this ranking, and how patient outcomes and satisfaction factor into it?

I think it's a combo of credentials/years of practice along with location.
It's unfortunate that your experience hasn't been good with Dr Rozbruch. What functional issues do you remain with? Is he just dismissive of your remaining issues?
Whats the best surgeon in the USA except Paley?
