Thanks! What's a specific example you heard about that would affect someone, ex: so in India you are saying they would publicize your leg lengthening to other people?

My current plan is:

1. Do a virtual consultation w/ Giotikas like April of 2022 ish , gather the labwork/x rays, etc needed to clear me for the surgery, etc

2. September of 2022, Giotikas femurs to 7.5 cm w/ weight bearing Gnail

Then wait a year to recover

3. 4 months before planned surgery, do a virtual consultation w/ Parihar + start gathering all the labwork/xrays etc

4. Then to save money, go w/ Parihar 6 cm tibia Precise 2

And then my hope is w/ the experience of doing it once w/ Gnail, I'll be ready for a more difficult challenge of:

- not being in a western nation
- wheelchair the whole time w/ Precise 2
- differences in cleanliness of Greece vs India
- I'm guessing that Athens, Greece and Mumbai have similar percentage of English speakers?

I am wondering to myself 'is my idea retarded? Am I overlooking anything?' I emailed Parihar asking if he uses gnail. He just said look at my website and I only see mention of precise 2. Is my timeline not realistic/not enough time to do things like get the labwork/prepare?

Who told you that lol? There is no country where it won't be considered a crime. A doctor can't reveal anything at all. We do have privacy laws. India is just another country where humans live lol.

Someone told me that Dr. Parihar is as expensive as Dr. Giotikas now for precise 2.2. Where on Dr. Parihar's website do you find this? I can't seem to find it

total cost of precice 2,2 in india -> 32,844 USD
Surgery cost -> 11,822 USD

Giotikas price -> 46,841.40 USD

so parihar is still cheaper but the difference is like $ 2k.

Yes parihar is very hard to get hold of for a consultation or even to get an email reply. But once you become a patient they will respond well.

For a USA citizen, on the east coast, what are the pros and cons of Dr. Parihar vs Dr. Giotikas?

"total cost of precice 2,2 in india -> 32,844 USD
Surgery cost -> 11,822 USD

Giotikas price -> 46,841.40 USD

so parihar is still cheaper but the difference is like $ 2k."

I think that the price of travel vaccines + extra price of the ticket cost pretty much 2000 USD which makes me think their prices is now the same

Does Dr. Parihar do rebreaks of bones?

Ex: what if I lengthened just 1-2cm on tibias with another doctor (considering doing gnail 7cm on femur then 2 cm on tibia with precise 2 back to back with only 1 month rest in between, might be enough lengthening tbh but want the option to rebreak the tibias later if want more length). Purpose of back to back: get that precise 2 nail before prices increase from inflation

Or at that point, would it be cheaper just for me to do rebreak of the tibia bones in the USA with a local leg lengthening doctor? (there are two who are within a few hour s driving distance of my place)?

He's one of the Indian docs I think people can be sure isn't a quack. He's trained under Dr. Paley.

for a year only. if there was a recent HSS affiliation at some peer reviewed case study perhaps this statement would hold some weight at assessing the pearls of Mangal's surgical techniques. I'd project that at 2022 it takes around 15 years at an elite community to refine surgical technique to become an expert and approximately 30 without these resources. You would keep this in mind while selecting a surgeon in general

Hi, im new here.

Im interested in LON method on tibia but think im not the right candidate and also ive heard there is some risks to have prolonged knee pain.

Anyways from what i understand in my case the right option is to have external fixator that, from what ive read in the past, has to be on your legs for the whole process until you can walk fully.

But recently i saw in a interview with indian surgeon Dr. Mangal Parihar he said that they now can use "locked plates" that they can do the lengthening with a fixator but then put a plate on so that the patient doesnt have to have the fixator for a long time.

Does anybody have experince/knowledge about this? Thanks.

It's an alternative to putting in a nail to decrease the time in an external fixator. As I understand it, it's not as stable as LON and results in more incisions being made, but I may be wrong. Dr Birkholtz offers that as an option too, last I checked.

Dr Paley writes himself that Dr Parihar is a very good doctor
« Reply #237 on: August 20, 2024, 04:22:59 AM »

Stumbled upon this old post on the forum. Attached below, we have straight from the godfather of modern limb lengthening, Dr Dror Paley, that Dr Parihar is a very good doctor. And Paley doesn't blindly support all docs who have studied with him or at one of his facilities, as we've seen him trash a doc associated with him before.

(The part about Stryde didn't age well though lol)

Kilo, how are you doing these days? How'd you describe the current condition of your legs? Do they still bother you? How's your gait and pace of walking?
