PE was definitely one of my concerns, so I asked Dr Serkan about it and he told me that he prescribes all patients with oral blood thinners; which I took over for at least one month after the surgery.

During hospital stay, they took blood tests daily before and after surgery. Additionally the risks of suffering a PE when all protocols have been taken is less than 1%.

Due to the extensive monitoring here, it reassured I was in safe hands.

I hope I have your question correctly

Feel free to DM me- I understand your concerns I was once there but, now I am so happy I went through with it!

I am a japanese female patient Neko, I did quadrilateral lengthening at the Limb Lengthening Center in Istanbul with Dr Serkan Gurcan and Mr Liam (also was on cyborgs channel). I am currently in my consolidation phase and finally walking on crutches yayyy

The reason I have chosen to write my atory is to support others wanting to have this surgery, especially females and elder patients. I feel there are not many and most patients are males but, females too have this surgery!

I also would like to share my experience at the limb lengthening center because the the care provided to me was second to none! I feel it’s important to share everything, the good the bad in order for prospective patients to make the right decision.

Please let me know what you would like me to cover and also what I cant discuss as I don’t want to go against the rules, I am new here.

Many thanks
Neko

Well I certainly hope you've elected to engage at the state of the art at Precice 2.2 or other novel Nuvasive modalities to prevent complications in general. Complications can be extremely distracting to the progression of goals in general and hope you had enough foresight to plan for the implementation of these over external fixators. Welcome to forum and it's cool that you're at YouTube! Recently I myself have been working with Kyle Landry piano studios on YouTube and am planning some uploads if not this year, early next. Nice to e-meet U.

I am also a female with the height of 164cm. However I am kind of afraid of undergoing the surgery with the risks of PE. How did you overcome it, or did you not think about it that much?

You are above the average in height compared to women. 164 is tall for girls.

Thank you and welcome to the forum

Hi Neko!

I’m currently one day post LON tibia surgery and it seems like everything is going well, I was able to take a few steps with the walker. My only concern is that my knees are extremely stiff and swollen, I can’t barely bend them without experiencing pain. Was this something you also experienced? Thanks!

Edit Post

hmm.., I didn't have issue with bending my knees, but I was only able to bend 90degrees and this is normal after surgery. Of course my legs were swollen, but it didn't hinder me from bending my knees.

I’m sure as the swelling decreases and you pass the first week or two, you will regain your rom. My advice would be to speak to your physical therapist and to also work hard on your daily exercises and stretching

How many physical therapist would accompany you during the rehab?
