[WARNING] Stay away from India and Turkey for LL surgery

No it is not. Since you are obviously not a medical professional while I am, I am not going to argue. Having a foreign object for months pinned through your body will inevitably cause infections

People here apologizing for the mistakes that happen in Turkey and third world countries are either paid or just deluded


I went to turkey and got butchered by Halil, now I am crippled and will spend years trying to fix it

My issue:
Developed an infection in my left leg, told halil, Halil didn't check for infection and decided to release my IT band. IT band did not heal properly and remained elongated and now I cannot use my outer thigh. Halil refuses to take responsability, blames me for not doing physical therapy(even though I have been doing). He cannot fix the issue because he's incompetent, most he did is he offered to camouflage the deforminity

I know lots of people who came to Turkey and got crippled by Halil, they have an entire hotel where they keep the cripples. Half of the people get infections, tons get non-union, they all lose years of their life trying to heal their issue and some never do.

What a nightmare.  Sorry about your situation.

I'm very sorry to hear that! Please post your whole story!

I sort of wonder if there is a way for people to warn forum users of certain doctors without exposing themselves to getting sued / pressured by those doctors

I am not sure sarcastically saying the opposite will actually work

"Guys, there's nothing wrong with Dr. X. He definitely totally knows how to do Y well, he most certainly doesn't lie or mess up techniques A, B, C. I'm sure all the complications you hear about coming from Dr. X are totally false. He's a great doctor and there's nothing wrong here"

You can clearly see and feel his anger and frustration about the surgery. His ballerina feet is extrem and he cannot walk at all. His face is covered in pure pain.

Compare it with "Mad Max" (https://www.instagram.com/maxheight35/), who could walk almost normal without any signs of ballerina feet after just 5 weeks!

Sometimes I wonder like 'damn, I wish Dr. Paley, Dr. Parihar and some others could do a grand tour of all India and Turkey LL doctor offices and just be like OK guys, do XYZ differently, fix this, fix that, stop doing ABC do this instead'

I know things are not that simple. The best Dr. Paley can do is give his presentations at the surgeon conferences (some youtube vids of him at conferences talking about LL) and try to get in some advice

And, for certain, some things can't be communicated so easily, there is experience and practice..

its not just abt the surgeon skills. its also about the healthcare system which the surgeon cant complete control
