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?

From my understanding  it's mostly due to spinal injuries

You'll be in good hands, you'll be fine. No parent would entrust their kids with him if otherwise.

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.

You will be in good hands if you get surgery with Paley, I would love him to be my surgeon but I cannot afford him so I guess I'm going with Pili on 2021. 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.

Serious nerve damage or extreme infection could lead to amputation or permanent disabilities.

Not very common with LL to that extend but still a possibility.
However, malunions, non unions and soft tissue problems (like equinus) are very common and can cause some kinetic issues.

Permanent wheelchair occurs usually after spinal injuries but some LL patients can't walk normally after nerve damage or lack of callus formation as BB said. This is a real possibility as well as amputation and death although they aren't common side effects.
