I just spoke with two different patients who had surgery with Dr. Pili. Both had surgery over 2 years ago and still can't even walk properly. They said running or playing sports is basically impossible. They both lengthened their tibia's and then had achilles tendon lengthening surgery recommended by Dr. Pili.
It is incredibly dangerous to surgically lengthen your achillies tendon. I never understood why Dr. Pili talks about it so casually as if it's no big deal and routinely recommends it. Now I find out his patients can barely walk.
I can't even imagine how many more of his patients are in this same situation. I will be speaking with at least one more of his patients later in the week who says they are suffering the same effects after their achilles tendon lengthening surgery.
Dr. Pili Destorys Patients Lives With Achillies Tendon Surgery
Here is Dr. Pili lying to a member on this forum who questioned him about performing Achillies Tendon Lengthening Surgery.
QuoteAchilles Tendon Lengthening surgery is needed to avoid equinus foot deformity.
It is not dangerous at all in my experience as I never had ant serious complication following this surgery.
If you get equinus foot during lengthening (80% chance over 4-5 cm lengthening) it is necessary to achieve a good alignment, to walk during the treatment and avoid long recovery time after frame removal.
That is a total and complete lie. This surgery is so dangerous that no other respectable doctor ever recommends it.
Achilles tendon surgery is to be avoided at all times. Only in the most extreme cases should this surgery even be considered. COSMETIC LENGTHENING SHOULD NEVER LEAD TO ACHILLES TENDON SURGERY!
That is what numerous doctors have told me. I'm sorry for the patients who are currently lengthening with Pili and those who already have. Their lives will never be the same. Very sad...
Quote from: 419 on May 27, 2018, 05:46:37 AMIf you do research on diaries you will see Catagni and Pili are kind of obsessed with doing ATL with CLL, for them it sems it is a combined package - and FYI I have been told by many folks on PM ( I would not like to name) that ATL has destroyed their lives. I personally would never go to Pili or Catagni even if they do the surgery free of cost.
Pili does achilles tendon surgery for tibia lengthening the way most doctors do ITB release for femur surgery. It's absolutely crazy! There are so many patients of Pili who can barely function properly after ATL. I'm with you, if surgery was free I wouldn't let Pili operate on me. I'd rather save my money for another doctor to have a normal life after lengthening.
