48 y.o. male, 173.5cm+9cm=182.5cm Doc.Barinov Volgograd.
« on: September 28, 2016, 05:28:00 PM »

Hello to all lengtheners,

I'm an italian guy doing full external with the Ilizarov apparatus. I've almost reached my goal, I'm and I will remain at 9 (I wanted 10). I had to stop because of bone cutting.
It's the 11th month that I'm here and I'm now dealing with the axis correction, on both legs, they were in a pretty bad condition: verticality was just a vague memory for my legs!
So far it's been a very demanding experience with an inflamed disk herniation l5-s1 and arthrosis on both knees which I didn't know of until I got here. Everything is possible with discipline and effort. I would like to encourage all the older ones and all the people that have injuries or issues that make the lengthening a bit more complicated...

ciao

Hi Bigpo,
Over here 9cm is relatively normal!
In any case I'm quite flexible so I didn't really have big issues like ballerina...
I thing the biggest problem has been the strength of the soft tissues which pulled to the level of causing instability of the apparaturs...

Sei il tipo italiano che ha scritto anche nell'altro forum? Come mai che hai scelto la russia e non da Catagni o Pilli? Questione di soldi?

Sapevo che il dott. Catagni operava solo in caso di nanismo; del dott.Pili non sapevo nulla, leggo che è un medico molto attento e preparato.
Considera che avevo raccolto informazioni circa 5 anni fa e all'epoca ero indirizzato all' internal femor. In tempi più recenti ho deciso per la Russia perche' è qui che l'apparato è stato concepito e quindi i dottori hanno una consolidata esperienza.

P.s.per rispetto verso gli altri membri, ogni altro mio messaggio sarà in inglese. Ti chiedo di fare lo stesso

Salve che il dott. Catagni operava solo in caso di nanismo; del dott.Pili non sapevo nulla, leggo che è un medico molto attento e preparato.
Considera che avevo raccolto informazioni circa 5 anni fa e all'epoca ero indirizzato all' internal femor. In tempi più recenti ho deciso per la Russia perche' è qui che l'apparato è stato concepito e quindi i dottori hanno una consolidata esperienza.

Non e vero che Catagni fa solo nanismo. Infatti io dovevo essere operato da lui a maggio (ma sono successe alcune cose e ho dovuto cancellare). Poi non sono un nano... Sono 172 quindi magari era informazione sbagliata o all'epoca era meno disposto boh...
  Communque, come mai che non volevi piu fare il femore? Raggioni estetiche?

It's not true that Catagni only operates on acondroplastics. I was supposed to do the procedure in May with him (but had to cancel due to a few things). Besides I am no midget... I am 172 so maybe it was misinformation or in that time he was less likely to do cosmetic LL boh...
  Also, how come you decided against internal femurs? Aesthetics?
