Today X-ray after one month of stopping lengthening
https://ibb.co/ZxwfDNxhttps://ibb.co/rkQDcSfhttps://ibb.co/5sGGzFv According to my x-ray, My current doctor told me that the bone healing is much better now, but still, we can't lengthening an extra 0.1 because the bone healing is less than expected and we can redo it after the bone fully healed ( rebreak bone again ).
A Korean doctor I contacted via email last week told me that I should satisfy with the current height and work hard rehabilitation ( without mentions to reason why? is it due to bone healing or something else?
Another doctor I contacted one and half a month ago told me "Yes, the newly formed bone is not good on the right side but not bad for the left side but there is malalignment for the left which should not be increased more than this if you lengthen more".
So, I do not know why all doctor agrees that I should stop lengthening? Is it due to slow bone healing or do they worry about developing malalignment in the left leg in case of more lengthening?
Personally, even with 4.2 cms, at-least , it helps me to cure height neurosis , and even though everything went right, I did not want to lengthen more than the safest limit of 6 cm in femur . Therefore, Now to length more I have to wait till the bone fully healed and rebreak bone and do they remain 1.8 cm which is not worth it, also 4.2 not really worth it in term of hight
( yes worth it in terms of to curing height neurosis
.
For those who are still looking for selecting LL, doctors put in your mind two things
1) Lengthening less than 5 cm in tibias, or 6 cm in the femur does NOT guarantee free complications, look at my case, I did not even reach the 5 cm femur.
2) doing internal nails ( precise nail or even stryde ) is does not mean that you are out of complications.
One more thing, I was thinking complications might occur to someone else, but not for me
, ask yourself: whats make your leg different
Finally, I'm not regretting doing LL itself, but I should only do it Only with the top notch LL doctors NOT orthotics, wait more safe more money but if you do it do it rights
