Hi,
My name is Thao, and I am the assistant to the doctor. I will act on behalf of my doctor to address your inquiries.
1. We are no longer providing the traditional illizavor. However, we will consider performing it if the patient requests it due to concerns about permanent knee pain. (100% of patients report no enduring knee pain after recovery)
2. For traditional illizavor or Lengthening over nail, the maximum allowable length for the femur is 6cm. We cannot permit the patient to lengthen beyond the safe limit due to the potential for serious complications.
3. If you desire more than 6 cm lengthening, may I propose L.O.N tibial lengthening? With tibial lengthening, we can assist the patient in achieving up to 10cm lengthening. (Yet, the safe boundary is 7 -> 8cm)
4. We raised the price this year. The new pricing encompasses all types of complications. Thus, if complications arise, the patient will not incur any out-of-pocket expenses.
The cost for L.O.N is:
8 -> 10cm tibial lengthening: 12,600 USD
6cm tibial or femur lengthening: 12,000 USD.
We utilize Sign Nail from the USA, which has a weight-bearing capacity of up to 200kg per limb.
The quoted price is the comprehensive package for international patients. This includes:
Surgical procedures (3 operations)
