Hi Is lengthening by ilizarov fixator can prevent valgus during lengthening of tibia? Since it is a more modular device compared to monorail fixator or internal nail, can't it be used to make sure there are no deformities WHILE lengthening? Thanks
Hi, thank you for your comment. we do not usually show the patients' scars in our videos or images due to their privacy. we attached this video for you since it seems like you are interested in scarring th-cam.com/video/-BPv0fQTgKk/w-d-xo.html To talk about the scars more specifically, going through the surgery by PRECICE or STRYDE produces much less scars compared to LON (lengthening over nail). Also, the amount of scars differs a lot by each patient's skin type, physical conditions and so on. we provide the special patch to the patients to relieve the scars, but we recommend the patients to undergo the scar revision surgery if they really care about the scars.

Hi, thank you for your comment. Regarding your inquiry, varus deformity can also lead to Osteoarthritis. the risk of getting Osteoarthritis goes higher as aging, but if you have varus deformity, or even other deformities such as knock-knee, rotational deformity, etc, all of them can promote the occurrence of Osteoarthritis.

Hi, thank you for your comment. Technically, there's no set limitation in lengthening, but Dr. Lee does not recommend to lengthen excessively for the patient's safety. For more information, please contact us via e-mail info@drdonghoon.com Thank you!
@@dr.donghoonlee1101 but in Turkey the majority of patients get 10 cm taller by lengthening the femur with Lon method I asked my friend he had done it in Turkey and he riches 10 cm in one operation and he told he fell quite normal !
I would like 20 cm. I am at optimal health. I mean that. Fruits vegetables. Meditation yoga salt water swimming. I feel I can achieve desired height. I feel my body is strong enough. I will email you soon. I'm 5'8.
Yes you can. Here's a link to a video where dr explains about age limit: th-cam.com/video/yERoCdK1_64/w-d-xo.html Exact recovery time is different for everyone. It depends on the type of surgery method, and also on your progress such as how hard you work on rehab/how fast your bone regenerates etc. For 6cm femoral lengthening, patients can start to walk without crutches after around 4 months from the surgery date with PRECICE on average.
hello! thank you for your patience. and it may or may not be possible depending on the patient's condition. if the cause of your knock knee deformity & osteotomy site for lengthening lies in the same location, it may be able to be done simultaneously.
I can't bend my knee after femur length.I don't know why (left passive 80 degree, active 45 , right passive 55-60 active 40-45) My friends got femur length with lon method like me . They bend knee in 2-3 month. But i asked them many time they feel pain in the muscles when they bend. But i feel pain inside the knee when i bend. I think I have scar tissue inside of the my knee . That's why I can't bend. I visit doctor. He said i nee stop go under Quadriceplasty surgery. I don't k is what to do. Is this surgery risky or not ? Or arthroscopy surgery good for my knee and after that physical therapy ?

Hi, thank you for your comment. If you are asking whether the patients could grow the height after deformity correction surgery, the answer is no. Even after undergoing leg deformity correction surgery, the height still stays the same. (if there's a height increase, only few mm)
Dr...,where is your office located...I'm very interested in getting this surgery!
Hello, Donghoon Advanced Lengthening Reconstruction Institute is located in South Korea, thank you!

With precise 2.0 is it possible to lengthen tibia and femur while correcting knock knee at the same time?

Hey did you bend your knee now ?
Can a knock knee be cured in this surgery
Hi sir how Are You?
One Day i will meet u....
Isn't that the old method of lengthening? why are people still using that?
external frames are still used because they're useful for treating certain types of leg conditions, such as legs with deformity.
will It be dangerous when we become older
Its dangerous *now*
@@karma_97_ Advancement in technology offsets that.

Hey , doctor Donghoon lee I have a question that if deformity is moderate . So, what will be the increase in height in inches?
