My Nails removal complication in USA
« on: September 20, 2021, 11:27:23 PM »

I did the surgery in USA 2020 , total cm that I did lengthening is 7.8cm .
This is so disappointed disgusting and a nightmare for me
I am waiting 9 hours now with my broken leg to do the surgery for fixing my broken leg.
I will post images as soon as I can .
I slept normally after went back home from the removal surgery day but suddenly heard a pop out sound and then my femur bone break and bulging.
I don’t know Dr will respond for this complication cost.

You're not really even saying much though. What happened? How did this happen? What has the surgeon said about it?

I am scared now , I am waiting for the surgery room , that’s why my chat is slow. And my mind is not 100%. But I will explain when I can. I am not in normal condition

Sorry if I make u confusing. But I don’t know why it’s broke, maybe not consolidation enough( but that is my thinking- Dr allow to remove nails so it should be consolidation) as I said  , I can’t reach with my Dr, only with Dr’s assistant and they said this is weird.

My picture at Hospital now.
I spent 1 hours to find out best way to post pic but still in privacy. I am still waiting for the surgery tomorrow ( I hope so ) ( I went to ER not my original surgery Dr the limb lengthening)

I am really disappointed because I can’t talk with Dr this whole day…

To be clear again What happened to me : I ready to woke up in this morning and ready to wash face, but not had chances to do it yet, a boom sound inside my leg come up. Still in bed not even get up yet. I was out of my mind didn’t know what was going on and Didn’t know why it happened, Doctor didn’t tell me why.Then call 911, Dr assistant  and go to ER.

Obviously it's because the bone wasn't healed fully enough for the nails to be taken out. Or the screw holes create a weakness until they are completely filled up.

Sorry to hear this DreamerLL. I am praying for your swift recovery.

Did you get your nail removed in the US with the original surgeon?

How many months has it been since your surgery? Have you been running or jumping in the 4 days previous to the breakage? And how old are you if you don't mind us asking?

These all play a factor.

If you plan to put the xray pic obviously blur your name and upload it on imgur after creating an account there. That way you can delete the pic whenever you want. Imgur lets you delete pics if you are logged in.

Are you from outside the US?

One more speculation I can make is that it has to do something with osteolysis caused by Stryde nails. But we should wait for your surgeon to answer you.

How did you break the femur? Sounds very unfortunate, especially if the doctor has given you ok..who is your doctor?
Could you post the x-rays here ?

So your doctor is not Assayag! This leaves us with: Paley, Rozbruch, Mahbboubian and Depiparshad. Am I missing someone?

ProgramDude had this same thing happen to him after nail removal with Rozbruch. But it could be anyone.

But let's not speculate any further to respect his privacy. If he chooses to, he would reveal it :)

How long did he remove his nails? I removed my nails at 12 months and Dr allow to do it. They also took X-rays before the removal surgery date for 1 day.

Omg …. The things I am so disappointed that was they can take less risk for their patients with cost them nothings even a penny but they didn’t. They was extremely careless. They almost to forgot to take Xrays and prescripted medicine to me. Luckily I read in this forum( from TheAL….) and ask them for medicine .

12months Until now no running , no jump , no stretching after removal the nails… More clear I never run or jump since do this LL even Dr allow me to run after the consolidation completed.
