Going to make external femur this summer in Egypt
« on: April 08, 2015, 01:51:04 AM »

Hi

I did external tibia 2 years ago, I gain 4 cm, and I am going to make external femur this summer in Egypt.

I met a doctor there last summer and It will cost me 4000 USD for setup the external fixator, 700 USD for removing the fixator, and another 800 USD for 6-8 months check-up.

If any one going to do it in Egypt this summer we can share accommidation.

You know internal is much more expensive, as well I don't want to live with a pin inside me, as I have read that, some times it's recommended to don't remove it all your life.

Hi, Alex. Doing pure external femurs? Well I really don't want to encourage on that. External femurs is a torture and u have to be really prepared for pain and immobility.But once u have made up ur mind for that... Just ask me anything u want to know. And I ll try my best with what I had gone through.
U r doing it in 20days, right? First advice I want to give u is as soon as u come out of the operation room, try to bend ur knees as much as u can, past 90'. It will def hurt like hell but you'll regret it later if u missed that chance. And keep ur knees Rom as far as u can and most of ur time.
Good luck.
