Which of the following doctor would you consider for LON:-
State your reason/s as well, thank you.
should be peng and for the amount that i want to lengthen but still a bit confused
My choice there is barinov because I will do 4 cm if I do externals and I like that they let you stay in their clinic makes me feel more secure being in a foreign country. If I had more available time I would consider Parihar or that doc from south Africa, although I'm not sure that I would really like being there.
but isnt russia like unsafe for foreigners leaving alone the fact you would be there with 2 bones broken already.
Staying in the clinic is way safer i guess.
And about barinov, was rgkey his only bad case?
Latn with Dr. Barinov
because he's skilled judging from the x rays of patients I have seen, talked to, and after lengthening results of his patients. He provides a safe clinic with supervision to stay at (although a little overpriced).
He has a general trend of good results. Although I feel for rgkey, he admits himself walking without crutches when Dr. Barinov clearly told him his legs could not sustain his body weight without the crutches. He walked without them anyways and ended up with bow legs And yet Dr. Barinov is willing to go as far as fixing his bow legs for free.
That to me is a sign of a good doctor.
I would not do LON with Dr. Barinov. He had one patient that I know of, death rob, and he was in frames for over a year and a half.

All the patients I have talked to never felt unsafe in Russia. Don't beleive everything you read on this forum. Most people here who post their opinion have never been to Russia. Pm patients who have done this surgery in Russia and u will get a real opinion.

That's good info, does he have a diary? I thought LATN requires more judgement and proficiency than LON which implies someone who can do LATN can also do LON because its simpler.

Yes death rob does have a diary on old forum . There is a few of Dr. Barinov diaries are on old forum .
I am not sure latn requires more judgement and proficiency. In my personal opinion, I think it is easier then Lon because a simple external lengthening is performed first followed by nailing. There is no lengthening over nail related issues this way. Also a correction can be done before locking of the nail which can't be done in LON.
