What would you recommend to those who would like to do limb lengthening? "Firstly, it is important to choose a Team that doesn’t only perform the surgery, but also takes care of you as a person with your body and mind equally important, and from start until the end of the process in order to be a success. Secondly, it’s a one-shot life-changing process and it is definitely not easy. You must be strong to follow through this process and all experiences that go with it. Expectations are a dream but the reality is far different and indeed very difficult, this process is not a game. It is truly a life-changing experience a very difficult process but with perseverance, complete determination and discipline you will reach your aim and grow not only physically but also mentally, and this is wonderful, you transform your life." - James 0:10 - First steps same day after surgery 0:31 – Training starts day 2 from surgery 1:03 – Alternate walking with weight bearing Gnail 1:25 – Clicking session with Gnail 1:44 – Walking without crutches and still clicking 1:55 – Dr. Guichet physical checkup 2:33 – Post lengthening walk 2:56 – 3 months after end of lengthening period For other success stories just click on the link: https://www.drguichet.com/article/111...

Manuel had a unilateral femoral discrepancy. He refused to have an external fixator like his father got in the past, and chosen to have a full weight bearing intramedullary nail (Guichet Nail or G-Nail). On the day of surgery, he recovered fully with motion, walking and sports like bike (called Hyper Fast Track). Manuel’s femur bone fused within 3 months after the lengthening period (Healing Index 20 days per cm) against 6 to 9 months with other intramedullary techniques (‘Healing Index of 33-45 days per cm). He had a fast recovery, with no complications. He started running again within 3 months and went back to rock climbing after 6 months from the surgery. The "Hyper Fast Track" is Dr. Guichet's signature for his training method for limb lengthening with fast recovery. It is the only method allowing returning to normal activity within a few days after the surgery. 0:30 - Soon after surgery with an intramedullary nail 0:57 - Training sessions 1:38 - Full weight bearing 1:55 - Choosing Dr. Guichet 2:49 - Advice for future patients with leg length discrepancy 3:13 - Experience from his journey of limb lengthening procedure The patient gave full authorisation to publish his limb lengthening journey, with eyes and face fully uncovered, according to GDPR Regulation EUR-2016/679.

Up to 1/1000 people present a discrepancy over 6 cm, but several thousands of people present discrepancies from 2 to 6 cm. Origins may vary, some being congenital (gradually increasing from birth, even if limited to only 2 cm at adulthood), others being mild forms of PFFD, and further ones being after trauma (generally 1 to 4 cm in femurs). Some cases of PFFD hade discrepancies of 20 cm or more. However, for lower limbs, if there is a length difference of even 2-3 cm, this will induce a limp and in most cases, will tilt the pelvis to one side, causing a spine curvature or scoliosis. 1 in 1000 people have a unilateral discrepancy of over 6 cm, whilst several thousand present discrepancies between 2 to 6 cm. Treatment is more successful with intramedullary nails. The Guichet nail allows for patients a full return to light sports from the first postoperative day, with the aim to resume sports completely from the 3rd to 4th month of recovery. FAQ : How does limb discrepancy occur? It can be congenital (PFFD for instance), acquired (infection, growth arrest) or post-trauma.
