I just wanted to give people an idea on how I might have a leg extension operation.
I'm under the care of Kings College Hospital in London, there are many different ways to extend the legs. I will need a variety of operations to get to a point when I am not tilting to one side when I walk.
The first video is of the external Ilazarov Fixator, not sure which part of the leg it would be fitted too at this point, but you get the gist of what it looks like.
The video below is of an operation inserting a Precise Nail, it uses magnets to slowly extend the leg, if I had the option I would go for this, as there are no metal rods sticking out of the skin to be seen by others or me.
However it's done it looks pretty painful, more gory updates to follow....
