I did LL in Beijing and got a good result.  I think they have a very good clinic, and have a good level of professionalism and patient care.

Hey mdow, thanks for the prompt reply.. ;D

1. While u were there, are there many patient having complication?
2. What is the common complication there?
3. Do they ever make someone loss the use of limbs/disability?
4. How long till u can walk without walker/crutches ?

The answer to 1 and 2 is here:

3.  Not while I was there.  I heard a rumor that 3 people were crippled back in the 1980s in that clinic, but they've had an excellent record since then.

4.  Short distances a few weeks after LL, longer distances a few months.

Yes they did, and it was all in Chinese, and they might give you the gist of it if you really insist on asking them what it says.  You either sign it or don't get the surgery, so I signed it.  I thought about stealing it back from them when I had the chance, but for all I knew my rights might be being protected by that paper, so I left it there in my file.

Yes, Dr. Xia told me the risks.  Just the standard stuff you'll hear from any LL doctor or read on here.

Do any of the risk include loss of limb/disability?
