Starting second LL(femurs) with Dr Buldu

Edit Post

guys, i am all good..been quite busy with my life. yes, fully consolidated..i started walking normally(no limp) from around may 3rd week. would do a video sometime when free(jogging etc).

all in all 3 months from surgery to be back to normal. ofcourse my athletic abilities would be hampered, but its a trade off i took but can still get close to 85-90% if i worked a few muscle groups in the legs. even if not, I can still lead quite a normal life, working out etc.

my proportions are good too- nothing out of normal. i ll create a new account sometime to post my proportion to ask you guys sometime, so there is no bias

Did you meet any of Buldu's other patients?did you see if LON tibias were common? It feels like most of his patients opt for LON femurs which seem like even more hellish xD

Last update:
I rebroke my femurs late september and did another 6cm.(6.2 to be accurate). This is ofcourse 6 months after last 6cm. I had full bone healing and gained back my flexion/extension/mobility fully prior. Yet I had a bit of tightness coz I wanted to finish fast, for time(I have been here far too long now and I want to move on) and to avoid preconsolidation(if you check my diaries rpevious xrays). So I did 1.33 alternative with 1.66 and 2mm once a while.

I have finished lengthenig and and would be posting my xrays before my third operation(second femurs) and now a few days/week ago. I am almost there with the flexion but i believe it would get better with time and would post videos of my progress whenever i feel free or any significant improvement.

I dont frequent the forum much these days unless I find something really acraponishing. I have seen and done it all. I bid my farewell with my xrays.

I am a bit more than 5'11- 9.5 tibias and 6,6.2 in femurs. would post my proportions too- till date no person said its weird- perhaps i did have huge arms and upper body to begin with- check my post with parihar consulation.

I feel avg in europe in a mixed crowd, but not tall. But its the max i could, and I am happy now.

Goodluck to fellow lengtheners/aspirant lengtheners. I never intend to set a bad example so you make this a trend. Always listen to your body, your doctor and your proportions.

Quote from: canterk on March 07, 2021, 02:49:05 PMhi fivetenneeded, not related to your next surgery but can you share some pictures of your scars from the first surgery? want to see how unnoticeable they are especially with leg hairs!
i am a bad example for scars. taken today- http://imgur.com/a/5DPQgmD

my posts from parihar is around feb/march 2017,


lengthening in stages is way safer(i did 12 in 2 stages). there was a doctor patient with guichet who did 3 and broke again later..this same procedure is used for dwarfs..this is how they get away with so much lengthening. if you lengthen less and recover, i feel you are only limited by proportions. pili(my tibia surgeon catagni's assistant, who talks with paley in many orthocons) too recommended this staged lengthening to do it safely instead of 10+ in single go..its safe and he has used it with people with deformities.

if sedat posts my video before the third surgery- you'd agree with my mobility too..else i can post it in 4 months-ish after i recover enough to job/jump/lift.
