I know a girl in Barcelona also died (Achondroplasia).

There is also one guy who committed suicide.

Who committed suicide?

The amount of idiots on this forum exceeds the idiots of the entire human population. 5 confirmed deaths? Did you confirm them in person or from your mothers basement?

Stupid question,I know,and probably can't be answered, but how many people have CLL a year? Hopefully there's some statistics available.

Yes I do want to add, before doing this surgery, ask yourself if you have optimized your life to the fullest extent possible (job/career, personality, etc).

That's why you do research before jumping into this. If at all possible, only go for Stryde femurs. Read up on pulmonary embolism and fat embolism syndrome (FES) prevention (e.g. raised legs after surgery is a form of prevention), proper pin-site care, and osteomyelitis. Also, learn what is good callus growth based on the x-rays of the diaries posted here, so as to avoid malunion or preconsolidation. Do learn the association between the distraction rate and nerve damage, too.

Death from this surgery honestly terrifies me. Not so much for my own well-being,but I know my father would hate me for it.

I was born 3 and a half months prematurely and I've always been short relative to my peers, despite growing at a normal rate, so he believes I'm used to it.

But honestly death is somewhat preferable to a lifetime of depression.

I think the chances of death are slim to none with a top surgeon. Obviously each surgery has it's risks.

I respect you have your own opinions but that comment was plain stupid imho

Anyways people need to go to a credible doctor or stay short until you can. Better to be short than crippled.

You call my opinion "stupid", but wait to refute in what way it is "stupid"? Ad hom much?

You're too short because of your fathers genetics partly, so it is his own fault.

Death is honestly not that bad.

You cease existing. No more worries, no more depression. For some people death could be a life improvement if their normal life happiness index was negative. Let us say you have life happiness index of -100. When you are dead it is 0. So you have gained +100 happiness points.

Anyway, what is worse to be left crippled.

How many happiness points you'd gain when you burn in hell?

You wouldn't know if your father hated you because you're dead.

Saffest method is still externals  classic or adapted Ilizarov, altough very difficult and painfully if done in femurs.

In tibias external rings are still the saffest for example because are more stable and very effective in preventing and correcting many complications, difficulties and obstacles.
In femurs is debatable because patient cooperation is more difficult  but there is also less risk for example of thrombosis.
Externals allways have more risk of infection but allmost always treatable.
This seems to be the general scientific currrent conclusion, but different surgeons, with different experiences, have sometimes different preferences because internal nails are simpler to be implanted and prefered by patients.
