Alittleshort: You seem to be asking a lot of questions with no follow up actions... I'm starting to think whether you're genuinely interested in this method of lengthening or you're just one of those guy that is trying to put Dr Sarin's reputation down. Are you working for Dr Paley?
But here's to answering your question, again.
To be exact i did approx 9 cm not 10 i just said i was 6ft because i'm close.
This internal nail stated that it is only capable of distracting 75 mm because that's the upper safe limit people should lengthen and was advise to lengthen by Dr Sarin. It's not all easy for me, one flaw in this device is that you have no way to tell accurately how much you lengthened, so i have to constantly use my judgement and feelings to match both leg to correct lengths. Maybe this can be considered "hardship". Ok maybe it's not that bad, they do have a marking like half a turn is 1 mm lengthened, but this is not calibrated in every devices it may vary a little hence u need to use a bit of your judgement. However, xray is constantly taken to make sure your leg length is of equal length and it's rly cheap for each xray and it's already covered in the price package so there's nothing to worry. Also, already mentioned, I took the risk to do more than that and probably because i'm young and a little lucky i got away with it. There was a point in time i accidentally lengthened too fast, was scolded, couldn't feel my right leg for a few days. But i regained my feeling after i rest for 3 days. Maybe that can be considered "complications" but i see it very minor and common.
There are people doing even
BETTER than me. There's a patient who is from Japan 18 years old he came in a month later than me and was done when i was. Now he is already walking without crutches and gaining back muscles rapidly but with a lil help of steroids. He did 9 cm on tibia externally. I'm amazed. The other patients and I was thinking that he for sure will have complications due to fast lengthening but we were wrong. My only conclusion from my personal experience is that we have to take into consideration of nerve healing, nerve healing capability is different on individuals. I find taking large amount of vitamin C and gluthathione and coupled with my young age, healing abilities, flexibility, strength and ability to endure pain helped me a lot when i was lengthening. I think it might be the same case for the guy he was really agile and flexible and also he probably heal way faster than me. There are also of course patients that will be doing all sort of funny things that they're not advised to like smoking, lengthening too much a day, trying to stand when their soft calluses has not turned hard, not taking calcium supplements after lengthening pump removal to enhance bone regeneration and worst skipping physiotheraphy or not even taking physiotheraphy seriously. All of which contributes to a higher risk of complications and it should be avoided at all cost. This is what i feel can be the reason based on only my experience.
I really wonder how people come about to giving Drs like Paley their "top notch" title. It's all perception of a brand. Just because something is priced higher, doesn't necessarily means that other brands can't get the job done. Maybe for the premium price brand the comfort is better, risk is lower, communication is easier and they give you more assurance but that does not take away any means of other more affordable brands being able to STILL get the job done. If i have the money, of course i would go for that, but truth be told, not everyone sees the value in paying 3 to 4 times more for all these extra perks or there's also people like me that simply can't afford a more expensive brand.
Thanks for the question.
