Information for the patient

We tried to answer frequently asked questions about Ladisten Clinic.

When are external fixation removed?

-A month after the correction, patients usually begin to walk without any support. That is when the process of bone fusion begins and from that moment we count the two months needed for regeneration. Therefore, the treatment process often takes three months. After that, you need to look at the pictures and set a date for removal. -It is forbidden to tighten the devices yourself or without the consent and recommendations of the doctor.

How does the operation of lengthening the legs by 4-5 cm affect the general condition of the body (can any new diseases develop, can hereditary diseases reveal themselves etc.)?

The general condition of the body after leg lengthening will not change, since the operation is performed minimally invasively, without characteristic skin incisions and almost bloodlessly. After full rehabilitation and recovery, the patient will be able to return to his normal lifestyle, and even to the sports he was engaged in before the operation. As for the activation of hereditary diseases, this is excluded.

In case of lengthening the legs or correcting the shape of the legs, how the operation affects the future offspring, the reproductive function? There is frequent exposure to X-rays, chemical drugs and other factors…

During the entire treatment period, the patient is exposed to X-ray radiation only 2-4 times, this is not a large dose of radiation. We do not prescribe chemical drugs to patients without necessity, we mainly prescribe homeopathic drugs.

In case of lengthening of the lower leg by 6-7 cm, how will the surgical manipulation be carried out and how the postoperative period will pass? For how long it is needed to use crutches and when it will possible to move independently?

The entire treatment period will take about 6 – 8 months. Operation time: on average 1 hour on both legs. After the operation, the patient is not allowed to walk for 3 – 4 months, only after 3 – 4 months you will start moving on crutches. You will walk on crutches for about 2 months, then independently, without anyone’s help.

Is it possible to do leg modeling based on a photo?

Leg modeling is just a computer image issued by a computer program, which gives an installation and attachment to the final result only as “in the picture”! Such a step, for psychological reassurance does not always give positive results for the patient himself. We make corrections in accordance with the anatomically correct axis, you will be able to see straight legs immediately after the operation and it is the achievement of such a result, and not as in the computer image, that should interest you. Within 2 weeks after the operation, it is possible to correct the result if the patient is not satisfied with something.

Do you perform medialization?

Yes, of course we do, if there is a need for it. The decision on the need for medialization is made by the operating doctor, and only if there are indications for it.

What is the cost of valgus deformity or varus deformity correction?

The cost of the operation and treatment must be agreed upon individually. During the initial consultation, you must contact the clinic and send a photo of your legs to e-mail: info@ladisten.com

How long does the treatment of valgus deformity or varus deformity take?

The entire treatment period takes 3-4 months, taking into account the deformation and age.

Is it possible to increase height and straighten legs simultaneously?

Perhaps, “straightening of the legs”, as you call it, or more precisely correction of varus deformity of the knee joints can be carried out simultaneously with an increase in height. This saves the patient time and money.

Do you perform feet deformity correction?

We do, but in this case everything is decided individually: both the timing and the cost of treatment.

What is the possibility of the “fracture disease” and osteoporosis to be developed after osteotomy and bone lengthening?

“Fracture diseases” and osteoporosis occur only in cases where the patient has problems with bones, either metabolic problems or old age. In other cases, this is simply excluded.

Is it possible to increase height without using surgery?

Once you stop growing – you can’t actually increase your height. No vitamins or exercise will help you increase your height once your bones stop growing.

Would your method of leg shape correction be suitable for me?

To answer this question, we need to at least see X-rays of your legs. But we have already improved the shape of the legs of hundreds of patients, contact us with questions.
