safest and cheapest for externals
« on: March 29, 2014, 05:17:56 PM »

hey guys im new to thisf orum

im  from the carribbean and im 5'4. 22 years of age .i have been discriminated for my height for as long as i can remember. even my own dad critized me recently due to the fact that he thought that i was to small for a certain job that i had applied for. ive had many accomplishments but none cannot feel that space of lonliness or empitiness when u realize ure not like others.i feel awkward just going to the shop which is just next to me .and even though i may have the attitude to attract women , they just dont take me seriously due to my lack of height.

 My currency ec( eastern carribean  currency , usd /2.67) lower than usd. ive been reading some of these forums and ive come to the conclusion that externals is more affordable for me.I know externals may have some complications like infections or ballerina foot. ive been researching dr Sarin but i got alot of bad news.Does anyone know any cheap but very safe doctors.  want to do tibias  around for to 5 inches.

What's the absolute most you could afford?

The current fee in Beijing is 33,000 USD.  If you could go $3000 over your budget, I'd recommend going there because of how much you want to lengthen.  The maximum there is 4 inches, and many other doctors think 3 is too much.

You can do this surgery with used frames with Dr. B for around 25K in South Africa. Accommodation for 75 days is included I think, just check his prices under limb lengthening doctors.

You could consider the Russian Clinics,  Dr Milorad Mitkovic and Dr Mangal Parihar.   They all offer external option within your budget and are quite reputable.   That said, you should check all the Doctors in the Directory Section and see what make sense for you.

FalconJenny is suffering bigtime and Goodfootballer just gave up his dream of becoming active again after LL.

Dr.Xia does have good rep and has been doing LL for many many many years. go for him

My diary. Tibias+femurs 3.75+3.75cm at the Paley Institute (5'5" -> 5'8") in my late 30s.
One of the last patients to use the PRECICE 2.2 nail. I met the first STRYDE patient and I strongly recommend the new STRYDE nail instead.

Externals or LON/LATN is within your budget and as mentioned above, consider the Russian doctors, Dr Xia's clinic in china, Dr Birkholtz in South Africa, Dr Mitkovic in Serbia and Dr Mangal Parihar in Mumbai. As for Dr.Salameh, I stopped following him after the Syrian crisis but I believe he practices in Germany and quite expensive.

Dr.Xia does have good rep and has been doing LL for many many many years. go for him

I've heard that Dr Xia does not perform LL any more, he only supervises his colleagues.

Just an opinion ..

Go for tibia lengthening with  external ilizarov with dr.BAGIROV (6000$)
save the (24,000$) try to save extra 10,000$ then go for LON/LATN for the femur with Dr B..

obviously, you wont be satisfy with 2-3inch , that's why you may need to go for both tibia and femur lengthening ...

Just so you know, Dr. Bagirovs price was raised, Its ca 6450 Euros, at least in Moscow. Baku might have different prices.
