[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dd does not have cp but she did have the leg length discrepancy surgery done 12 years ago. I am responding because it is not that common a procedure so I will describe my dd’s experience. It was done in the hospital and she went home the same day. She wore a brace on the leg, was on crutches, and was out of school for about a week. She also needed physical therapy to regain bending the knee and full function. Since this was 12 years ago, the procedure may now bemore streamlined but i do feel the doctor glossed over some of the challenges of the surgery. Mt Sinai is known for lengthening the shorter leg to align with the longer leg. It is a more involved procedure but patients travel from all over the country for the procedure. Sending good wishes your way.[/quote] My nephew has this done. Lengthening shorter leg so he didn’t end up shorter. How tall is your daughter projected to be? [/quote]
