That's why I'd never go there with a war going on.
Quote from: Muse on October 03, 2013, 10:11:41 AMHere's the response from Russian Ilizarov Scientific Center for Restorative Traumatology and Orthopaedics
At present height increase in our Center possible, if the patient complies with the criteria, indicated in Protocol No1 of July 22, 2013.
1. Starting height less than 165 cm for guys (160 cm - for girls).
2. Disproportion of lower limb segments (evaluated by doctors of the Center).
3. Disproportion of body and limbs (evaluated by doctors of the Center).
4. There is also age limit, 21-40 years, associated with higher risk of osteoporosis, complications related to vascular system and delayed consolidation.
5. The height increase candidates should be in good health and they are required to bring a health report, describing their entire previous medical history, signed by GP.
If you comply with with the above requirements, then height increase is possible at our Center.
Duration of in-patient treatment depends on many factors, including age, amount of lengthening, patient's diligence in following doctor's recommendations, etc.
However, it is not mandatory to stay in the hospital during the entire treatment. It is possible to be discharged from the hospital for out-patient treatment during fixation period (consolidation of the achieve result). In this case duration of hospital stay is reduced (and, of course, the cost). Usually our height increase patients stay in the hospital for the distraction period; then they leave the hospital for out-patient treatment with fixators on; and later it is mandatory to be admitted to the hospital again for a few days for fixator removal.
Motion activity, physical exercise therapy, walking with crutches or sticks, starts from the second day after surgery.
During the entire treatment our patients lead an active lifestyle, almost without limitations. Our patients start walking without additional means of support in 1.5-2 months after removal of the external fixators.
The cost of our treatment is quite reasonable. It consists of the cost of preoperative examination, cost of surgery (which depends on how complex the surgery is), cost of fixator (which depends on the operated segment and number of parts), cost of accommodation (depends on the type of the room), duration of treatment, mandatory assistance package.
The costs are as follows:
standard preoperative examination (approx. 5000 roubles)
the cost of surgery (which depends on the type of surgery) - either 49400 roubles (one-level lengthening) or 64200 roubles (two-level lengthening) per surgery (each leg is counted as a separate surgery).
the cost of fixator for one tibia - approx. 17800 roubles (you will need two of them)
the cost of one bed-day in a common room shared by 4-7 patients - 1460 roubles.
mandatory assistance package for 90 days - 117800 roubles (if you stay in the hospital longer - the cost will increase).
If you add all the above costs you will get the total cost of treatment. The cost includes accommodation, standard hospital meals, physical exercise therapy and medications associated with orthopaedic treatment, translator assistance in communication with hospital staff.

Sorry but I don't understand:
Acording to my calcs it will cost about 230,000 rublos, but in other time you had sent an email said that it will cost 650,000 rublos.
So what is the right price ?

Can anyone confirm the pricing?
650,000 rubles would only translate to roughly 10,000 USD.
Even with the sanctions, that sounds way too low for such a surgery.
Shuya,
I'm from the states. I'm interested in going... but will have to verify that it's legitimate. Can anyone confirm?
Hi has anyone gone here, I'm definitely interested but no one has responded. The price seems low enough that even if it takes a long time the cost of living isn't too bad.
What the new cost of this center?
Does anyone has mail address or any other contact for dr Costantin Novikov in Kurgan? He operated me in 1986. and would love very much to get in touch with him. Thanks in advance!!!
