Top doctors for purely external Tibia LL

Edit Post

what tik-tok diaries??

Edit Post

Pili is unquestionably the best in Europe.
There are numerous patient diaries and plenty of real-world experience, all consistently positive.
This is serious surgery, so it makes sense to go straight to the very best.
Costs are generally similar anyway—so choosing the top surgeon is the only logical option.

I read Pili’s diaries and he has ok results. The problem I find with Pili is that he barely does any follow up after the surgery from the diaries I read; after installing the external fixator on tibia, he does a 1 month follow-up until the removal of the external fixator; this is a serious surgery; the new regenerate bone can get the wrong shape very fast if not adjusted properly, especially in the lengthening phase. Even Parihar said that “you cant just follow up every month or 6 week with Ilizarov frames”. But other than that there arent any reports of Pili crippling anyone

jeez, do you really believe that a doctor puts external Ilizarov frames on a patient - and then does not regularly monitor the patient - do you actually believe this?? 🤦‍♂️🤣

what about the tik-tok diaries that reveal bad doctors??

when are you planning for LL again - 2032??

Will you contribute anything on this forum or just troll all day long? Any evidence that Pili follows up more often than 1 month after lengthening has begun using HEF?

Hi sylar94

He consistently achieves brilliant results and showcases exceptional skill in his work. If any issues arise, he is more than willing to see you as often as necessary. Pili's impressive outcomes reflect his commitment to efficiency, as he aims to minimize unnecessary procedures for his patients, ultimately saving both time and money. The focus should always be on the results, and it seems he excels in delivering them. If you feel more comfortable with more frequent follow-ups, I believe he would be open to accommodating that request, as it benefits both you and his practice.

Absolutely, the most important thing is always the final result. It's clear that he follows up with you every time it's necessary, as evidenced by feedback in various forums. So, in the end, the discussion about this aspect seems unnecessary. His dedication and expertise speak for themselves, and at the end what truly matters are the results he achieves for his patients.

exactly 👍

but this guy believes tik-tok instead 🤷😁

It's Dr Donghoon Lee or Dr Parihar, there's no close 2nd place. This is the only correct answer.

Dr Pili and Giotikas are nowhere near the same level.
