Hi there, I am Ravinder and i am 29 year old. This is probably not the right paper to wright but i really would like to share my side of story. This was nothing less a miracle for me, i was about to lost my leg when i met this Doctor so i hearty want to post.
I will try to explain every bit and every inch of it. It was HOLY, a religious festival in India COLOR/DANCE/PARTY/BOOZE every possible fun. I was going to my home town when a fine f**king gentlemen came in full speed from the wrong side of the road and in a fraction of second everything changed. My right leg was crushed around ankle. I was lying in the pit side of the road devastated crying for help, you know and India a pizza delivery happens with in 30 min or less but ambulance or police OH NOOO they can be there till the person is dead or about to die.
I lost lots of blood at the site of the accident. I lost conciseness i don't know when and how i reached the hospital. About 40 minute i was struggling on the road and try to reach out some help but no luck.
When i came in conscious i was in a government hospital doctor was waiting for my family to sign the consent for my operation.
I remember each word he said we will try to fix your leg but i you have to get it fix later they were concern to save my life.
The doctor just put some bandage and fixed it wit tubular frame/external fixator. They sent me home. Due to covid no doctor was performing procedures mean time my leg got infected and Pus was oozing out the wound. I tried to reach the doctors but everything was shut in INDIA.
Three months i suffered a lot when the lockdown got over i reach my initial doctor and said my nothing they can do he has to amputate my lag because the infection was too much.

I never heard of his name but my brother asked me there is no harm to meet the doctor so me and my brother went to his practice place, i will never forget the moment he said we can save the leg.
it was the most happiest moment of my life.
He explained pros and cons of the procedure. I was ready do anything to save my leg.
when i met this doctor my leg was completely infected at the sight of injury.
7 - 8 cm bone loss just above the ankle joint. Tibia was completely crushed above the ankle. He first did the first aid and load my body with heavy antibiotics to control the infection. That took about 20 days to control.
During that he fix my foot and ankle with K wire and rod. He explained how he will break my leg from the above and transfer the bone down. And he also mention that i will not have full ankle movements but my leg can be saved from amputation. he has to fix my ankle joint but i can walk or use my toe muscles. I will have the movements of my forefoot.
He 19 july 2020 he operated me and put my leg in a ring frame called Ilizarov. Operation took around 5 hour. My ankle was stabilise with the frame only. So while my bones growing above he is transferring the bone. So he is transporting the bone down.
I am able to stand with walker and can partially bear the weight on the leg and can walk few steps.
