Which is the maximum amount Mitkovic patients do in tibiae?

[The Kaiser]

I knew one guy did 10 cm tibia with him, its very very risky idea. So lets say 10 cm is the highest and am sure he may do more if you insist which is wrong, Good luck.

Who did 10cm with mitkovic on tibia

Who did 10cm with mitkovic on tibia 

Years ago, there were several patients who did excessive lengthening (much like they do now in Russia). By around 2009 or so, I remember reading that Mitkovic was recommending a 5-cm maximum. Perhaps he always had, but I gathered the impression that he was becoming more firm on the matter. Of course, there are many patients everywhere who continue to do what they want.

[Sweden]

Only total idiots do 10cm.

Don't do more than 4,5-5cm in tibias.

[Bander72]

They sign up for their own limb amputations  by trying to lengthen insane amounts especially tibia.

[Jack1066]

Would you say Mitkovic can be a bit of a sleazy doctor then? He will just do what you tell him, or does he have firm limits?

[yyes]

Why do limbs end up getting amputated?

[DreamOf180cm]

There's never been a reported case of amputation in the LL community? Correct me if I am wrong.

[6FeetSoon]

Why do limbs end up getting amputated?

Can happen in the case of a severe infection due to frames. So it's limited almost exclusively to external methods. And even then.. doc really has to screw up for it to escalate to that point.

[Bigpoppapump]

Amputations happen when someone has been in a severe accident and has effectively shattered their bones in multiple places. The patients get the opportunity of frames or amputation. Often frames in these cases have to be worn for 12-24 months and even then there is no guarantee it will work. As for people who have overlengthened surgeons will rebrake bones and remove a segment of bone to reduce length before they tell someone to amputate or be forced to.

Excessive lengthening and poor alignment are possibly the biggest dangers of leg lengthening.

10 cm isn't that outrageous when you think about people that have done way more than that like dr salameh's 16 cm tibiae patient and didn't paley do like 15 inches on one patient

Who was salameh's 16cm tibia patient? 

[0184946]

Who was salameh's 16cm tibia patient? 

he sadly never wrote a diary but was mentioned briefly in other dr salameh's patient diary's in the old forum i might post a pic if i can find the diary

edit: after some snooping around, couldn't find the diary where he was mentioned but pics of him are on dr salameh's site http://www.lengthening-sldf.com/index.php?act=open&programid=16 apparently, he lengthened 8, had it consolidate, and came back for more lengthening.

[Bander72]

Yeah another reason to go for internals.
