In condition that I go to Paley and obey all his rules.
I mean, what if the bones don't consolidate after being broken? If orthopedic surgery can do anything, why are there people on a wheelchair for life following car accidents?

So you think LL won't harm us to that extent?

The parents trust their kids with him because the kids are legit deformed, not for cosmetic reasons. So they have no choice but to trust him. Doesn't eliminate the risks involved.

There are a few diaries of patients getting messed up for going with unreliable docs, but those are -as I said- few cases.

How old are you currently?
Not saying that I have that kind of money at the moment. But for me it's either him or not at all. At least if I get crippled, it wouldn't be for trying to save a couple of $$$. I must work hard now because time is running out.
Hi guys, after exploring this site more, I got confused in determining the safest possible method and doctor. Basically here's what I got.
Tibia is safer than femur.
Only use external for tibia.
Dr. Paley is the best surgeon in the world but doesn't even practice external.
So Catagni who is believed by some to be the best surgeon for external comes to mind. Or anybody else?
Price is a lot cheaper with Catagni and if it also means safer then why the heck not?
Quote from: Android on May 07, 2018, 03:28:38 AMI'm not quite sure if tibias is necessarily safer, but they're well tolerated with externals, and therefore cheaper. This makes it easier to recommend to those who want around 6 cm of ;lengthening. Femurs are recommended for those who want a little more lengthening, more comfort, and/or more stealth.
The drawback with Dr. Catagni and Dr. Pili is that you'll be in frames for a long time, lengthening time plus 5 to 6 months for consolidation. That's the price you pay. If you have time to spare, go for it.
Bingo. He still uses externals, just not for CLL patients.
So which one do you think is the the safest, less long-term complications, the best athletic recovery and the most guaranteed outcome: femur with Precice by Dr. Paley or tibia with Dr. Catagni?
