[Gladiator2012]

Hello Josh,

Very touchy story. There will be people who will like you and not like you to but the best part is you achieved your dream and now going to live your life peacefully.

You have gone through a lot more than a simple limb lengthening patient go through in one surgery. Your story is definitely helpful for various reasons such as ROM regain, nail etc etc

Your intentions are very clear that you want to help people here with device information and that's what matters most.

Welcome to forum.

I think that it is great to hear stories like Josh's.   I have been scouring the internet to find stories of people who have had LL to help answer my own questions as I go on this journey myself.   Like Josh, I am tall and have had LL to correct a LLD.   But I have been living with it for 27 years.   Some people are short and want to be taller to be perceived as normal.   Some people like me want to have two legs the same length to look normal too.  And to function normally.   It's not all that different.   It's posts like this that make me feel more comfortable to ask my questions.  And I know I must not be the only one with the same questions.   Good on ya Josh.

The International Centre of Anthropometrical (Orthopaedical) Cosmetology and Correction offers the unique possibility to correct  bow legs and knock knees
We succeeded to significantly reduce the period of treatment and the risk of complications during the treatment.  It takes only 8-9 weeks from surgery to the moment when the person is able to walk freely.  The scars left by the needles are only 2-3 cm long and get invisible after a few months.  Our patients start walking on the 3d day after the operation and soon don’t need crutches to walk.   
It is notable that the very process of correction is stepwise and lasts 7 - 14 days.  Correction  goes on up to the moment when both  the surgeon and the patient agree that the best esthetic result has been obtained.
For correction the apparatus for external fixation designed in our Center is used.  The frames are fixed on both legs during the operation.  Besides being cosmetic, correction surgery prevents problems with joints which often arise in bow-legged people with age.  The knee joints bear two thirds of a person’s weight and straight legs help evenly distribute the weight by correcting the axis.   
During treatment we use a special computer system for surgery planning and determining individual parameters of dynamic characteristics of the frames.
