Who are currently the top doctors for purely external Tibia LL? I know that Dr Parihar is often mentioned, but I have barely seen any diaries of him. So ideally these top doctors should be backed up by evidence such as diaries

Dr Barinov, Volgograd,Β  Russia - I think there is a Dr Bagirov too in Moscow.

Just enter Volgograd and you will see diaries from 2015 - 18ish.

However, I would seriously advise not to place too much reliance on these or any diaries - you have seen the racist loony-tunes that frequent this site, but will never do LL - just do some medical research re. 'Ilizarov external' and you should be fine. πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί πŸ‘

as in, diaries are not 'evidence' - but a one-sided subjective account of their view of the LL process - there is no way of verifying if they followed the doctor's advice re. physio, stretching and walking etc etc - but certainly can give you an idea of what to expect...

Pili and Giotikas are for sure among the best.

Unfortunately diaries are they only proof we can get. Best proof is instagram or tiktok diaries. And subjective perspective is better than no perspective

diaries are not the only 'proof' at all - better than medical research?? - better than visiting a clinic, to talk to doctors and patients??

you cannot break your legs via tik-tok or diaries

when are you thinking of doing it - 2031??

Medical research only shows that you know theory and can form new knowledge given your experience. It doesnt mean that you can actually use your hands and deliver flawless results

jeez, I meant do your OWN medical research πŸ™ˆΒ  what does tik-tok or diaries prove??

Its kinda irelevant if a doctor has 100 first authored research papers and 10k citations on Google Scholar. If he cant get perfect femur or tibia alignment, then whats the point, knolwedge is not the bottleneck. All of us future LLers probably already hold more than enough knowledge on the subject. The bottleneck is the β€œdoing” side of things and being able to react to problems when they occur. One could only have this evidence from a diary and concrete xRays

Going to the clinic: i would just hear their side of the story; the one who sells themselves better would win; this is a sales talk; nobody would expose their own bad results; a lot of tik tok diaries expose who the bad doctors are; from the xrays it can be seen which doctors cant deliver

jeez - what patients would give a sales talk with Ilizarov cages wrapped around their legs??

'it's kinda irrelevant if a doctor has 100 research papers...if he can't get perfect femurs or tibia alignment' etc - well he would hardly have any research papers if this was the case - would he?

I thought your question was about external tibia - which is not complex - so what's the issue??

bloody hell - xrays can reveal all kinds of things, including patient non-compliance - do you not get this??

Again, you seem to be of the view that tik-tok is a more scientific and medically verified record of orthopaedic surgeries - sweet lord jesus, you need help man ' really.

For the 3rd time - when are you thinking of getting surgery - 2031??

by the way, what tit-tok diaries reveal bad doctors??

I repeat,Β  'it's kinda irrelevant if a doctor has 100 research papers' - please can you re-read this πŸ™ˆ

Why does this site attract such nonsense??
