Best LL surgery money can buy?
« on: February 24, 2015, 10:27:07 PM »

Lets say I am really rich and money is not a problem but don't have a full year or more to spend in a hospital and don't want to go through freakish amounts of pain like some of the cheaper options cause, ... so if that is the case and you wanted to change your height a lot (like 12-15 cms or something like that) who would you get to do your LL surgery?

not sure what you are looking for, you won't spend a year in a hospital btw, but for such amount, the recovery will be very long

You can't buy your way out of pain and recovery time.

well you might, with forsteo, hydroxyapatite, vitamins, stem cell injections, growth hormone injections, and bone growth stimulators (ultrasound). also, nailing instead of pure externals. and get a mobility scooter so u can work and move around when lengthening.

MDoW delivers a very quotable quote.

If only money could buy us out of recovery time. I'd pay an extra few thousand to be walking unaided already for sure! lol

8 CM internal femurs with Paley, then decide if you want to risk internal rod in tibia or do external tibia only for the remaining amount.

G-nail by Guichet! That's what I'm going for hopefully later this year.
Btw you don't have to be rich, just almost-wealthy  ;)

This guy knows what he's talking about :)

I'm done with clicks now, so I'm really hoping that I'll be walking (even if stiffly/funny) very soon. That's a big part of why I chose the Gnail, it seems patients are walking very soon after clicking most of the time.
