Hey everyone so in a few min we’ll have on several members of Paley’s Physical Therapy team for a LIVE Q&A. You can catch that here:



Next week we’ll have a patient progress follow-up with Leon, Optimus, hopefully HJ and possibly another one or two patients to see how they're doing. Week after hoping to have another patient currently lengthening.

Finally, I’m open to new content ideas so if you have any suggestions feel free to email them to me at [email protected] or in this thread I’ll try to drop back occasionally. One thing I’m thinking of doing is the patient-ranked LL clinics - like the 2022 LL surgeon/clinic awards or something like that. Just need to figure out what categories will be rated etc.

@randy - you're right I think mainly due to popularity of the Precice and Stryde but Fitbone deserves a fair look.

@informationispower - I don't think they did since it's highly variable but in general the more conservative the faster the recovery

@interested_2022 - Maybe they were referring to the Stryde you know - but I kind of did ask when I visited Paley but he told me to keep it under wraps (I guess to avoid disappointment if it doesn't happen when time comes) but I may ask him again soon or NuVasive directly. I should bill NuVa while I'm at it - all the nails I've indirectly sold for them from the content lol.

@precice strider - I think I'd have to contact Globus to inquire about that since I think they acquired them more recently not sure I'll have to check into it

@Limbfan2020 - I got a few emails about this and I have him on a list of consideration for future interviews. I've heard he does cosmetic surgeries as well as LL is that correct? Guess he can make incision scars disappear for real!

All great suggestions thanks!

@AllinStryde - with a username like this you should get a kickback from NuVasive too jk lol. But yeah I've seen that documentary a while ago and it was interesting. I'll have to see if I can arrange an interview with any of them to see what they think of CLL. Great idea!

@interested_2022 - to be honest I think they have removed the original Stryde nail but that doesn't mean they can't make the 2.0 better. Haha you caught that little Easter egg huh. Yeah I may have bumped into an interesting company who is dabbling with LL tech...time will tell

@Shogun - I believe someone sent me a video of him after his lengthening way back. Didn't he do some crazy amount of length though? If so, I have to be careful with showcasing things like that bc even though he might've recovered others might not and I don't want to portray the wrong idea. We'll see...

@JamesBrown - Thanks I appreciate it! Just want to provide patients with as much LL info as I can.

@prospect - Let's just say something is in the works. Dr. Paley said he wanted me to wait for him to update you. Stay tuned

@Oswego - Thank you! Glad the content has been a helpful resource.

@SpeedDialer - I know the best way to do that is to take your time when moving. There's no rush. Use wheelchair, walker, shower chair, elevated toilet seat, learn the proper seat-to-bed-to-wheelchair-to-walker transfers, improve upper body and core strength for easier pivoting and get a caretaker for harder tasks (shopping, taking out trash, washing dishes, washing laundry etc. you get the idea) and you'll be good!

By the way - here's a new video that I put together of Leon (a LON femur lengthening patient who did full 8cm) showing his 10month post-LL physical abilities (jump rope, jumping and sprinting). I'm very impressed!

@Limbfan2020 well of course it will be a weightbearing nail. We already have non-weightbearing IM nails (P2, FitBone). But that will be all lol 

Anyways here's an article by the legendary, unbelievably skilled - Dr. Peter Thaller (Dr. Donghoon Lee's mentor) from Munich & Berlin Germany.

It's on the Pain Levels Post-LL for a variety of Intramedullary Nails. He agreed to eventually come back on the channel to explain the findings of this as well as some findings on pre-surgery methods for pain control.

He also gave some insight based on questions I had after reading the paper....
