Limb Lengthening-Internal Femurs-Dr Rozbruch 2017

Edit Post

I have just watched video on this Doctors site. He says he aims for 3 inches(8cms) but from everything else I have seen on this site this is when complications get a lot worse, 5 to 6 is what people should be aiming for. Has this Doctor changed his opinion on the 3 inch aim in recent times?

Also, is he considered to be better than Paley as I had not heard much about him. It always seems to be about Paley when people talk about the best in the world and the guy to go with.

Youtube the video "Dr S Robert Rozbruch-stature lengthening" on youtube on watch the story about Sam. 8cm is what they aimed for and achieved. And yes, on these forums people don't talk about him because their number one focus is affordability. Rozbruch is 75k+10k+in-patient fees which can be prohibitively expensive if it's out of pocket. You've got to remember he works at HSS in NYC. That place is no joke. NBA and NFL players go there as their first choice for rehabilitation from orthopedic injuries.

So even if he thinks you're a good candidate, if she says no, it's a no. And people do get turned away often so be mindful of this.

Have you had your consultation with that psychologist yet?

I posted instructions on how to upload images to the forum. Are you going to upload the image you said you have that shows a breakdown of the $75,000 in fees from Dr. Rozbruch?

I did watch the video with Sam but wondered if it was an old video. I know that 8cms can be achieved but at what cost to future health and mobility. If this doctor had seen a lot of complications from going as far as 8 since making this video he may have changed his mind about what he advises patients. I assume he hasn't if you are going for 8cms and he is happy for you to do that.

Sam did his surgery in sep 2015, and this was 10 months post op (july 2016), so not old at all. Also important to note that additional length is all relative. If someone had 20cm long femurs and you tried to add 8cm, that's a lot more stressful on the body than someone who has 40cm long femurs... nothing is absolute
