Thanks small, brondo and BelowTheMean I like doing the interviews to get their perspectives.
Here's a new one with the only LL surgeon in Canada: Interview with Dr. Marie Gdalevitch - Montreal, Canada.
There was quite a bit of reference to quadrilateral lengthening for those interested.
(here's the link in case I fail at the hyperlink above lol - )

Videos of Doctors, Specialists, etc. talking about LL (Merged Topic)
Discussion starts at 1:43. The entire video might not be relevant to you as this is directed toward training doctors, but because a lot of people ask about and are concerned with limb alignment pre and post leg lengthening, I decided to post one of my surgeon's workshops where he discusses the topic. Hopefully you find it useful or interesting.
