AI advancing LL surgery research
« on: June 01, 2024, 11:49:43 AM »

Hi, did anyone explore the the current and potential impacts of AI on LL surgery? I'm curious if it can accelerate recovery times or the overall cost?

I've read about Alexander Teplyashin's research and the potential of using stem cells creating artificial growth plates, which could make the surgery less invasive and more efficient. The procedure was based on implanting a stem cell scaffold that would gradually turn into bone so once the scaffold is implanted there should be no discomfort and we should be able to exercise during the treatment. But it seems that his reaserch has been discontinued.

If AI contributes to predicting and optimizing genome editing methods such as CRISPR-Cas9, it seems that it could be used to advance stem cells research.

Forget about artificial growth plates and bs like that. LL will remain the only solution for height gain in our lifetime. And no advancement will be made except other weight bearing magnetic nails entering in the market.

Regarding recovery, it's 95% dependent on genetics and 5% on food, meds, rest, physio, etc. No amount of hormones will help if you're predisposed of poor bone regeneration. That's why some people recover faster and others never recover (getting non-unions).

Is there any test that can be done to asses bone growth? Bone density tests (bone densitometry or osteodensitometry) , vitamin d levels?

Well there's lots of hype around ai in healthcare, not sure why big pahrma is not interested in this field..

40-120 k. for cosmetic surgery, with <1 year recovery is a lot.

This is a niche surgery and big pharma only wants to maximize profits.

Expensive surgery doesn’t mean high profits.

Hello everyone,

Personally, I think research is progressing, but I don't believe it has reached its full potential yet. However, I recently saw researchers in Japan working on tooth regeneration. They have succeeded in making teeth grow at any age. This is a treatment that could become available by 2030. Those who say it’s impossible or will never happen are probably the least informed about recent advancements. Being involved in research myself, you can't even imagine the breakthroughs we encounter every year. :)
