Dr Lee knows. Dr. Lee kept telling me its fine its fine, the curve is fine.
The curve is around 5-7 degrees depending on how you measure it. So it is not terrible.
But for everyday life I can feel it. The way the left foot hits the ground, going down stairs, sometimes even just standing, I can feel the difference since for the last 30+ years I've been using my legs 1 way and now the angle has change enough to notice daily.
Will he fix it? He can, if I pay more lol. He won't fix it for free for sure. Gotta open the skin, break the bone again, remove a section in the back (as it is curved backwards) make it straight, put on an external fixator again and wait for the 2 parts of the bone to heal into 1. It would be much faster though as it is the same as healing a broken bone, maybe 2-3 weeks tops.
But its gonna cost another XX amount of money and then gotta pay for those 2-3 weeks stay in the hospital again and pay for flights and everything. It's just such a hassle, especially now given COVID, I can't fly back to the country where I am residing if I leave.
So yea. I told him face to face several times make it straight, make it straight, make it straight please in all the consultations I had with him. Even right before my last surgery I said PLEASE DO YOUR BEST TO MAKE IT STRAIGHT. Because I know there are consequences to a bone not being straight and it's going to cost more money to fix if it isn't.
My guess is he wasn't prepared with the right nail, right before surgery I saw him going through a box of nails, it didn't seem like he ordered one specifically for me. So the type of nail he used was not the same as other LON patients. I dunno, maybe because I wasn't his original LL patient since I was a corrective case? Dunno and I don't want to speculate.
All I can say is the end result = curved bone which is unlike his other LON patients. Whether I will fix it or not depends on how much it keeps bothering me.
