Not completely disregarding what your saying but I find this hard to believe. I would assume that most CLL patients get 5cm or more done on their tibias and if this guy keeps doing ATL with bad outcomes surely someone would have noticed? Catagni would have also advised against this no?
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...

I'm sure Guichet and Monegal are to be avoided because I visited them and got a very, very bad impression. I haven't visited Pili but I think I won't even try. What for? New disappointment? Perhaps I will have a look at the new Greek option.
Guichet is similar price to Paley. Why don't you just got for Paley?

True words. At least about most who work with CLL. Even Paley is a salesman. We just look the other way due to his experience and abilities. And also because us willing lab rats should help fund in some way all his other main work doing deformity and limb discrepancy correction in children.

yes, if 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. If you have some special reason to either defend or chose Pili or Catagni - fine - at the end it is individual choices. This forum is for sharing and exchanging thoughts and information, but each individual makes his/her own choice and oun journey. I personally would never go to Pili or Catagni even if they do the surgery free of cost.

The EU specially tends to be stricter than the US in almost all kinds of regulations. However, in the medical field, is the situation the opposite?
you must be joking. Except EU rules being stricter on Genetically modified food (which in any case in a bull law and EU has scientifically been proven wrong), all other regulations in US are stricter, and by far.

Hi, Prakash - welcome back. Do you have more information on this topic?

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.
Goodmorning everyone,
is the first time I write in the forum I joined yesterday.
I should OPERATE in Lecco in October with Catagni, who is known to work with Pili.
The first thing that told me with great serenity is that generally after 5 cm of lengthening the Achilles tendon is extended and that it would have booked the surgery immediately after the first days of lengthening.
It seems strange to me that if it is so dangerous, it spoke calmly, also because being an Italian citizen, the intervention of the tendon is covered by the health system and not at the patient's expense.
I do not agree on what you say, the intervention to the Achilles tendon is necessary after 3 - 4 cm because this tendon does not naturally extend too much, so if you do a stretch of 5-6-7-8 cm of tibia you will remain on tiptoe, the intervention consists in thinning the tendon in order to make it more elastic.
