What does Pili say about the permanente effects of Achilled surgery?

Quote from: Body Builder on April 04, 2017, 09:52:00 PMYou did too much lengthening on tibias plus you did atl. I believe that your balance will be worsened a lot compared to pre LL and you will run very hard and for only small distances.
I hope I'm wrong but almost 9cm in tibias is too much and I'm curious why Catagni let you do ao much.

Anyway, you'll have the frames for about 1 year since surgery so be patient. Your further rehabilitation is something up to you and your body but it would have been much easier if you haven't lengthened more than 6-7 cm.

I did it. Mainly cuz the doc has said so. I did 8.8 Cm cuz about 10% will be a loss after the removal of the ilizarov, so I am going to be a full 8 Cm... I also pushed it this further cuz something like this is Done once in your life. So no regrets. And if u saying it's too much, it's proportionate comparator my femur. Anyways I have also talked To others that have had my surgery and some have just finished (9-10 months) and they back at walking. well everything depends on the anatomy... But I am very optimistic... When did u have the surgery and how much have u lengthened? And u done it with pili too?

What do u mean? It's done this surgery for you not To have your foot pointing forward. Also after a set of Cm added, the surgery has to be done. I won't go around it, it's very painful

I did LL before 5 years and I lengthened tibias 7.5cm and I did atl too.
I walked very bad for almost 2 years after the initial surgery but this was mainly due to atl I believe which I truly recommend anyone to avoid.

No my doctor wasn't Pili.
And too much hasn't to do with proportions but how much your final outcome will be reduced due to too much lengthening.

Perhaps, but I don't think the Doc would make u do something that in the long term will cause irreversible issues... Also, from past experiences, everyone that I talked got. Back to their normal life after their journey has been finished...

Espresso I was operated also in October by Pili and Catagni. I did also ATL in Feb and I removed the pin last week. It will take you 3 months to remove the frame and I guess almost the same period to get 100% back. I know other people who had the surgery do not agree with that, but this is what Catagni told me and I confirmed with a bunch of patients he had (that I called).

if you think  you're getting back to 100% only 3 months after frames come off after doing 9 cm and ATL, then you're going to be very disappointed

Think 75% after  2.5 years
