Hi everyone,

My English is not good but I'll share my LON journey with you all!

[Kenda]

Hiii, tell us about the hospital, the staff and most importantly the Dr himself and his after care?

[wannagrowtaller]

I'm very interested in this. Did you met any Lee patient who did femurs?

[TouchingTheSky]

Hey!  I was actually watching a lot of his videos of his patients walking after CLL.  What do you think?  Idk but I feel like his patients are a bit dangly or bouncey when they walk.  It's a bit concerning to me but I would like to know your opinion.

Could you put here the links of walking videos you are talking about

The one-segment PO walking seems pretty good.  The quadrilateral ones though seem a bit "hoppy" I guess, meaning they tend to move too much vertically when walking.  I think a lot of them have some tightness in the calves, which is almost like a stiffer spring, which causes the vertical recoil when they lift their feet off the ground.  I'm trying to do quad, but I think the safest way to go is a very conservative amount on the tibias and more on the femurs (3cm T + 5.5/6cm F).  I feel like tibias in general affect walking more than femurs.  I also question whether Dr. Donghoon has patients wear a splint to prevent equinus.

Sorry for some reason I can't share the video link.  Just go on youtube and search up "Dr. Donghoon leg lengthening" and you should be able to see all his videos.  His profile logo is a lizard.

I find this but it’s bilateral
After around 1:30 you see patient running jumping
Going up and down stairs

One patient femur and tibia progress comparison
7 months post op and 9 months post op look still hip joints and ankles are stiff
Still it’s quite fast recovery for quadrilateral and the last shoot  18 months post op look quite a normal gait

Im actually soo scared this happens! that after 1 year my hip and knee joints are stiff like this :/

[TemakiSushi]

It usually take longer to recover from the stiff ankles or any joints with external like LON or non weight bearing nails
I hope to see Stryde tibia cases soon

[TouchingTheSky]

That is actually a good point since these are from years before the stryde nail.
