Hello everyone,

I am planning to undergo LL surgery using LON for tibias on end of March or 1st week of April.
My target is 6.5 - 7 cms of lengthening, but I am concerned about my recovery as I need to travel back on 1st week of August to attend my office.Can I be able to make this feat ?

who is your doctor ?

[jinn169]

Dr. Sarin.

Dr. Sarin.

dont do it with him...

So regardless of the doctor, what are recovery estimates here?

Dr. Sarin.

Roll a dice. There is a 50% chance that your legs will be screwed up...

I actually changed my plans about my lengthening, I would restrict myself to 6 cm as I do not have much time and also that would reduce risk of arising complexities during my surgery. I am assuming 3 months of lengthening (max.) and one month for recovery.

Never in a million years. Also, why Sarin?

There are better alternatives than Dr. Sarin.

Please do your research if you have any commitments before getting your legs broken, because it cannot be undone.

Note that LON doesn't allow full weight bearing post distraction. It only provides structural integrity for the newly formed bone. As per the response I got from Parihar, it would take atleast 7-8 months to weight bear using LON for lengthening of 5 cms.

Hope this is helpful. My recommendation is not to rush. Please try to get as much clarity as possible before jumping into LL.

Thanks.

Thanks for that, when I say 'recovery' I basically mean I should be able to travel back and don't need anymore assistance from doctor.Sorry, It’s my miss I should have mentioned it clearly.
