Limb Lengthening Forum

8-9 cm femurs with precice max is my dream surgery, hopefully the price will be reasonable

He said he would take the nail out, put blocking screws, and correct it from there! It was unsuccessful and he also claimed my right leg didn’t have an issue! (Which I later found it does as well)

As you can see from my x-rays he only tried correcting my left leg because of that! (And charged me for both!!!) (Only my left leg has blocking screws)

Although my main issue is with the butcher Yuksel Yurttas, I don’t think that even Dr Giotikas has a clue about deformity principles, because even a junior doctor wouldn’t make those mistakes!

Another patient on this forum had the same issue with procurvatum and tried to get it fixed with Dr Giotikas, and it was unsuccessful. I wish I had seen his post before I went to Giotikas!

I was wondering why blocking screws are only used for the left tibia, and your explanation made it clear.
In my opinion, I think it should be possible for a skilled surgeon to perform deformity correction using nail changes and blocking screws, but it seems that Giotikas had difficulty with this.
Please take care.

How did Dr. Giotikas explain correcting your Genu Valgum and procurvatum deformity without using TSF?

For anyone reading this thread if you have been crippled by the butcher Yuksel Yurttas:

Dr. Assayag is the doctor you need to see. Dr Assayag is one of the greatest LL specialist doctors, and will properly fix you up.

I agree with you to some point, some things r worse with comparison, i mean yeah my mental health is dog  but my height is a problem as well , if i was taller i wouldnt be thinking about none of this nonsense. i started to lose hair as well which no therapy or talking could cure my fear of going bald i would literally jump off a cliff. its either a win all or lose everything situation for me

Since you mentioned hairloss, I have good news for you. There are so many things you can do to keep your hair, and then there is hair transplants too. Combination of medical therapy and surgery can secure a full head of hair for a very long time. I started losing my hair around 22 years for no other reason than genetics, but I have had a full head of hair for 12 years after that and no signs of recession. There are good channels on youtube about this stuff, message me if you want links.

The reason you therapy soyboys get ridiculed is because you're ridiculous. Most of you act like it's so great it can cure cancer. No, you don't have to 'own your life' when there's a way to change it.

Brb going to tell someone who is homeless than they just need to own their life and develop a more positive outlook, and some people have homes and some people don't and there's no point wallowing in misery over it, and definitely don't try and get a house of their own before they've worked on their mental issues surrounding housing first.
 

Why is it none of you soys understand the concept of statistics and probability? One example of one thing proves the square root of fk all. Just like when you bald tossers say 'Dwayne Johnson looks fine bald, so being bald isn't that bad!'.

Sounds horrible to be such a willing victim of circumstances, which is the vibe I get from you. And yet you talk about "doing something about it". You completely misunderstood what I'm saying, probably on purpose. You skipped the part where I encourage the surgery for those who want it. I encourage to do everything about everything in your life. Therapy is also that. Full ownership instead of this bitching and blameshifting like you. If you claim full ownership and responsibility of anything, will you not do everything you can about it? So taking full ownership of ones life, mental state, emotional state, everything, that is how I approach my life and I always encourage it to other because it works. It works if you do the work instead of rolling the ball to whatever circumstance or thing you want to blame your misery and failure on.

You simply have some reason to be bitter with those who are not as devastated by life as you are. You just cannot fathom someone not being a victim like you. They must be soyboys and therapy losers. Lol, good luck.

You definitely need a wheelchair for any form of LL. Get a walker and crutches u wont be walking unassisted during lengthening. And dont overlengthen your tibias especially, you will likely regret it.
Just eat as good as your appetite can allow for, maybe even more. You need nutrients to recover.

I have been following your experience and sorry that things have not gone well, I am hoping that your legs get sorted.

Please can I just ask - you said on a previous post that Giotikas could/would be correcting your legs, here you say you are going to the US to get them corrected. Did you decide not to go with Dr Giotikas and if so why not?

Giotikas claimed he could, but not much changed with his approach. Meaning whatever he did was unsuccessful. The only way to properly correct a bony deformity is a TSF frame, which Giotikas claimed he didn’t need.

This is why you need to be very careful of the orthopedic doctors you choose. A junior doctor studying orthopedics in the US wouldn’t make the same mistakes Giotikas and Yuksel Yurttas made!

Although the bony deformity was created by the butcher Yuksel Yurttas, Giotiaks claimed he could fix it without a TSF frame, which turned out to not be true. Even a junior doctor studying at ICLL would know that! Why does a patient know more than a surgeon??

It was lengthening phase + 3.5 months. I was at the apartments they had. The caretaker lives across the building walks by n does her stuff. The pin cleaner and pt comes by every other day by moped. I went to the hospital like once a month to take xrays that's a out It. They bring u breakfast lunch n dinner if ur thinking of staying there. I'm not sure if there willing to travel to u. The caretakers but the pt guys will cus there mobile.
I don't do much pt now. I'm just walking everyday at work like 0.8 miles everyday. My work is my pt cus I walk up stairs n move all over the place. So yeh I recommend it at 169 cm. Life changes . The doctor does alot of home patients daily. Patients that goes home n don't need accommodation but uses pt on side.
