Dr. Salameh told me, there was one guy in Syria, who did two times 8 cm on tibias (after a break between) in fact 16 cm in total. He lived 3 years in fixator. I have seen pictures of that guy, he had quite bulky legs. He went from 160cm to 176 cm height.
And there was a girl on the old forum (Sam), she did even more (but she had achondroplasia)

Geese, 16 cm on the tibias? How the hell?

Morpheus34 · « **Reply #64 on:** January 08, 2015, 02:39:14 PM »

Hello Read Rothbard

Yeah, 16 cm, but two times. I think this guy was an exception like some people in sports: there are people, who can do things that 99.9% can't do, for example run 100m in under 10 s.

I have a friend who want to do this surgery with Dr. Salameh cause he cannot afford other doctors like Paley. Germany is to expsnive for him to but he is wondering if Dr. Salameh will perform for reduced price in Syria? If so then my friend will go to Syria for leg lengthening and then he can post his exprience here. Does anyone no if Dr. Salameh still does Syria surgeries?

Sure, and ISIS will escort you out of the hospital and provide the aftercare free of charge. How's that for a discount!

Silly to think ISIS will target random hospital of Dr. Salameh to grab a random Indian guy.

What would make him die? I think you are watching to much media to believe if you go to Syria you are automatically dead.

My question still remains. Will Dr. Salameh do surgery there for the lower cost?

Didn't Salameh flee Syria because of the civil war?

The interview style info can be confusing going from doctor to doctor. Some answers are incomplete it seems.

Can anyone chart the cost/duration in a clear and concise arrangement?

i.e.

Process:
1. Consultation: $500 USD
2. Operation: $35,000 USD
- Included: X-rays (10), 1 Week Hospital Stay, etc.
- Complications: Additional Cost
3. Accomodation: $1000 USD / Month
4. Physical Therapy: $1000 USD / Month

5. Duration (Est):
- Tibia
- 1 cm = 1 month
- 6 months average time for most patients
- Femur
- 1 cm = 1 month
- 4 months average time for most patients

6. Cost(s) not included: plane ticket, meals, transportation, medication, etc.

Why do almost all his patients develop bad ballerina feet. His equipment too bent down to the feet?

Aistro10 · « **Reply #79 on:** July 23, 2016, 05:21:46 PM »

So are there diaries of LL with this doc in this forum? I am wondering 7 - 8 cm on tibias. 173 cm at the moment. He has his own patented prdoduct ''salamehfix1''. And it says on his website ''Possibility of walking without aid and full weight bearing after surgery.''
So how long time after the surgery is it possible to return to the work with the fixators hidden under the pants?

paddy10tellys · « **Reply #80 on:** July 23, 2016, 06:10:38 PM »

Hi Aistro10 - best diaries are on the old forum. RTW date depends on what you do. He showed me some vids of patients who could do a lot in the frames - takes time though! You can hide them - wear Oxford bags trousers, or flares/bell-bottom jeans, etc. Hippie fashion. I'll let you know - I'm gearing up for surgery this Oct. Go & meet him & Dr Schmidt. They are seem nice, genuine.

8cms seems a lot - especially if you are already 173cms, which isn't that short... 6cms or less is safer, according to LL Vets here from what I have read...

justdoit · « **Reply #81 on:** July 23, 2016, 06:18:12 PM »

Dr. Salameh is a fine Doctor. Yes 7-8cm is possible

Koi · « **Reply #82 on:** October 23, 2016, 04:25:11 PM »

It's 25k$ per segment, right? So I'm assuming it's 50k$ for tibias+femur... am I wrong? Is it 25k$ if you're doing both at the same time?

It's 25k euro for tibias only,I don't know about femurs but as people always said:external femur is not a smart choice

Just avoid external femurs due their painful nature.

How was he able to do 16 cm just in tibia if most people at 5 cm are over?

Wahnsinn · « **Reply #87 on:** October 29, 2016, 10:56:26 PM »

I read somewhere he can do femur LON for 30k EUR. I know it might be painful and so on - but my question is, what can be the limit for such operation, how many cm?

YourSpaceBoyfriend · « **Reply #88 on:** October 29, 2016, 11:02:07 PM »

If you would bear the pain i personally wouldn't go past 6cm.

orangina33 · « **Reply #89 on:** November 05, 2016, 01:08:14 AM »

There was once a civil war in my country, while all the western news were blowing out showing how dangerous it is in my country, it wasn't at all, unless you are really a foreigner. I will contact dr. Salameh before going, I will ask him whether it is safe. The soonest I can, I will fly to Germany or see my family in Turkey. I'll do my best to lower my risks but i just also know how media works and how things on the ground are much more different.

Dr Salameh is well known on this forum and has some diaries. I had a consultation with him this year in Frankfurt. He is very good.
