LON Tibia Final Decision.
« on: November 22, 2024, 09:29:37 PM »
I wish I had enough money to do bilateral lengthening or betzbone lengthening with Dr. Becker

but woof.. I picked the wrong stock. I am stupid.

I am just going to do LON tibia.

See if you have any sort of bowed tibias or knock knees. Assayag may be able to discount tibia LL for you, I had bowed tibias so I was able to use insurance to pay for the correction codes

So, you did tibia lengthening and knock knee fixation surgeries simultaneously. That's really interesting!

However, I personally don't want to Dr. Assayag because I want 7cm tibia lengthening (although, I am willing to settle for 6.5cm) and

my understanding is, Assayag will only perform the surgery if the patient's tibia lengthening goal is 5 cm.
