I underwent tibial LON in Moscow, the surgeon was Bagirov. As a result, I grew about 5 cm, underwent 5 surgeries, wasted 1.5 years of my life and was disappointed in most doctors.
Before the operation, there were no discussions about complications, even with specific questions Bagirov refused to answer them: "If I answer, I will be scared myself and will not do anything". Later it turned out that the clinic where he operates does not even have an intensive care unit and by law it is forbidden to perform operations with intra-bone implants there.
On the day of the first operation (installation of a nail) I arrived at the place, waited for about 20 minutes, then I was taken to the hospital room and here's the fun, in 15 square meters 3 patients and inoperable ventilation! Anesthesia, about the professionalism of one of the anesthesiologists I'd rather keep silent, during spinal anesthesia he stupidly missed, it was fking painful! Probably because of the bad injection I did not take anesthesia for a long time, I had to wait for about 40 minutes and even after that during the insertion of the nail in the first leg I felt a little pain, I reported it, but I was told that everything is normal, you can't feel anything, you're making it up! The nail entry hole was stitched incorrectly, so there was a rough scar, a hypertrophic scar.
After the surgery, they installed a urinary catheter and removed it only on the 3rd day, because the nurses either did not know how to remove them or did not want to, eventually removed the one who put it. In subsequent surgeries it was not put in at all.
Pain in the first days, painful but tolerable, I could walk, but it was very painful to bend my legs. Stayed in the hospital for 5 days and went to the apartment
Second surgery (bone fracture and installation of external fixation apparatus).
2 weeks passed. In a ward of 15 meters again 3 patients and nothing to breathe, anesthesia was better, but still had to wait for about 30 minutes.
On the second day I was able to stand on a walker, but it is very hard to take a step, it is also hard to urinate in a duck while lying down. The pain at the fracture site was strong, but I was given painkillers, in principle, it was tolerable. He stayed 3 days in the hospital and left.
Lengthening.
It was 0.75mm/day The first couple of days were fine, then Bagirov said that I should twist 2mm a day (why? Just for a boost), 2 more days passed, that's when the pain started, the top of the foot started to pull strongly, one morning lifting my foot, I experienced a very strong pain and cramp, I did not twist more than 2mm a day. Then I did 0.75/day on a 5/2 schedule, after 3.5 cm I did 0.5-0.75 on a 4/3 schedule. The most pain begins after 3 cm, no non-narcotic drugs they are not eliminated, partially helped stretching and caloric food.
During the lengthening I had several infections, problems with extension, pain, doctors only did paid X-rays and tomography, no examinations, even when I said that I had problems, they always said - "everything is fine, it's normal". Once, when I complained a lot about infection, they took a paid smear and the result was given only in 2 weeks, when I wrote to them several times.
After 3cm the device itself began to bend, in the end, out of the 6.5cm in ilizarov device, I got about real 4.5cm on the bones and +0.5 cm due to the correction of curvature. The twists took 3.5 months, and the appliance was removed only after 6 months from the time of installation. Because Bagirov is often away and you still have to make an appointment with him 2 weeks in advance.
3 surgery (removal of the device and nail lock). Before the removal of the apparatus, I had been complaining for more than a month about my right leg being out of alignment, I had x-rays taken and was assured each time that everything was normal and would straighten out after the apparatus was removed. During the 3rd surgery I had the device removed, the pain was only the first day, I did not take painkillers. After 2 weeks, my right leg was still not unbent, and there were terrible pains in the left foot. I took an X-ray, and again they told me that everything was fine, although I could see that the right leg was not particularly straight. I went to 10 doctors, only a few could see antecurvation, but even they could not measure its angle, the rest just took money for examination and advised physical therapy. In the end I studied Solomin's article on angles of lower limbs and was able to calculate this angle. After 1 months, I could already walk without support, but my right leg never fully unbent. After numerous complaints, Bagirov bothered to look at the lateral projection X-ray and confirmed antecurvation, and on both legs! In the end, we agreed to remove it during nail removal
4th surgery. It has been 10 months since the 1st surgery. Now I am supposed to get the nails out and have the hardware put back in, but, but I was cheated! When I was already in the ward and paid for everything, came Bagirov and said that today only remove the nails, and put the devices in a month .... Either agree or leave.
I had my nails removed. On X-ray it was obvious that there was still a bad bone callus, but Bagirov assured me that everything was normal. After the surgery I experienced pain while walking, but I was told it was the muscles just getting used to it
5 surgery. I was fitted with a device, but only on my right leg, although Bagirov himself said that he would put it on both legs, no X-rays were taken before the operation. Antecurvation on the right leg was corrected, but as it turned out later, due to premature removal of nails, the left leg curved a few degrees ...
The first 2 days there was severe pain due to the straightening of the muscle, then it subsided, the leg was straightened by about 10 degrees, I was able to walk unsupported after 1.5 weeks
From my story you can understand that you should not trust this doctor, he does not care about the client, you need to find and point out the problem and prove it to him, if I did not have financial opportunities and I was a foreigner, I would probably stay crippled.
The clinic itself (ООО «Клиника Научной Медицины»), has many violations, there work frankly bad doctors, most of them only profit from people's problems, frankly mock, it should be closed in general.
Now it has been 15 days since the removal of the device from the right leg, like the leg is straight and the result seems acceptable, but not excellent, this month I will do a control X-ray, I will write the result, you can ask questions.
