Had a consultation today with Dr. Tetsworth.
« on: January 29, 2016, 09:11:05 AM »

Dr. Kevin Tetsworth is an Australian Orthopaedic surgeon. He was trained by Dror Paley.

I asked him about any future problems after LL. He then said "It's a new bone. It heals. New bone grows. And as far as muscles and soft tissues, they all heal. A human bone can stretch up to 30% of its original length, but due to muscles and soft tissues you must halve that down to 15%. Your bone length in the tibias is 37 centimetres. So you will be able to lengthen 5.5 centimetres and no bone, muscle or soft tissue problems will occur. There will be no future problems. 15% of the original bone length has never failed before."

The consultation went on for an hour, but he really loved talking about Dr. Guichet. He thinks he's a great doctor. I just thought I should share this information for anybody who has any questions regarding bone length or any muscle/soft tissue issues.

Here id the link if you want to check him out (not in that way hahaha) http://orthodoc.aaos.org/tetsworth/

How did you manage to get in contact with this doctor? More so how did you know he would do LL?

He can only do emergency LL, not cosmetic LL. The Australian government has banned cosmetic LL for they believe it to be very dangerous. So I cannot get it done with him, sadly.

However. Dr. Tetsworth has done it overseas with Paley and Guichet in the past.

Yeah I thought they had.. Would have been nice to do the procedure at home.
