Dr. Jamal Abu Nimr’s answers to MMTS

? How many patients have been treated with both leg lengthening

The internal height lengthening program was performed on 47 patients (all by Dr. Jamal himself), including 22 operations performed using the new “Jamal Nail.” The total number of patients who underwent operations using the “Pliskunov” method for height lengthening was 550 patients

?Which method do you use

We use the “Intraosseous distraction osteosynthesis” method, which is designed by Pleskunov → Pleskunov nail → Dragan Pleskunov nail → Jamal nail

For 15 years, the device has been continuously developed. Careful analysis of each procedure and each patient allowed Dr. Jamal to refine the existing device with the help of top engineers. He invented the new nail, the “Jamal Nail,” which is now in use

We found a way to shrink the device itself into four smaller parts

Now we make a smaller and shorter incision with two incisions than in the previous operations. All the incisions are small, the largest of which is 3 cm, and the rest are 1-2 cm, and their total is five incisions

The device has been made stronger than before by using 16-VT titanium, which is one of the strongest and most valuable metals. It helps strengthen the immune system and accelerates the process of bone regrowth

100% complete control over the device’s movement mechanism

The device is implanted inside the thigh bone only without connecting it to the pelvic bone. This new feature increases comfort and movement of the pelvic bone

The new “beauty nail” allows for a shorter recovery period because it does not put pressure on the pelvic ligaments

It has become easier to activate and use the “clicker” device, and most patients can use the device themselves without pain

We do not use X-rays or ultrasound to implant the device in the bone

We implant the nail with the help of an external device (external guide or external guide) that helps the doctor guide the device (the nail) into the bone canal with complete accuracy, down to one hundredth of a millimeter

One of the most important features of the new device is that the patient and the doctor are not exposed to radiation, and the external guide helps reduce stress on the body

To reduce blood loss, we use a special device to stop bleeding inside the bone canal

The new technology makes it possible for the patient to stand on his feet the next day after the operation and be able to walk with the help of crutches or a walker

The patient can resume his normal daily life and even travel to hot areas and swim after the lengthening program

?What services are included in the cost of leg lengthening surgery

Surgical procedure for nail implantation and all medications

Hospital stay during surgery

X-rays, CT scans and all necessary medical tests

Three months of massages

Three months of physical therapy and rehabilitation

Height can be lengthened by up to 20 cm with a beauty nail. However, the medical standard that suits everyone is 12 cm, which is easy to achieve. We achieve high-speed lengthening of up to 8 cm, which is the so-called golden limit, achieved without any complications and in record time

What happens when the patient requests a large difference in length is that the muscles become less flexible and need a longer period to adapt. For these cases, there is the extended double-multiple program “pair after pair” which helps the patient to achieve a satisfactory result, but it requires a little more time

? Does the patient need to make any preparations before treatment

It is better for the patient to do exercises to tighten the muscles in the pelvic area and legs to give them better flexibility, which helps the patient to recover quickly after the operation and reduces muscle tension during the rehabilitation phase. It is also important for the patient to be psychologically prepared for the operation, to use crutches for some time, to be patient and understanding of the difficulty of some stages, and to be sure of the results, which are represented by the prize of a new life with a new height

? Are accommodation and housing included in the operation price

The price of the outpatient stay is not included in the price of the lengthening program. On our part, we help in finding a place to live for the patient and arrange living matters (food, cleaning, etc.). We also allow our patients to return to their countries, provided that they follow the medical instructions exactly until the end of the lengthening program. Then they must return to the hospital to obtain the required devices and modifications

? What are the medical conditions that prevent the operation

A medical condition requires extensive preparation for surgery to correct and eliminate health problems. If the process of correcting health problems becomes difficult, we postpone or reject the operation. Medical contraindications are divided into two categories

General prohibitions

Post-traumatic osteomyelitis

Mental illness or failure to respond to treatment

Severe cellular diseases specific to immunodeficiency

Chronic diseases accompanied by multiple infections

Chronic and acute inflammation of the proximal ligaments

Local contraindications

neuroinflammation

Vascular dysfunction

Second-degree arteriovenous insufficiency and above

permanent wounds with ulcers

?What is the complication rate in your cases

The complication rate in surgery is 3%-4% and is usually due to re-installation of screws. We replaced a deformed device in two patients (after a fall). A few cases were rejected by the patients’ bodies, and some required additional orthopedic surgery. However, complications due to infection have not occurred with us

?Are surgical complications included in the price

Yes, it does not require any additional payments from the patient

? Is there health insurance available to cover the patient’s treatment

Unfortunately, health insurance does not cover cosmetic surgeries

?How much does a medical consultation cost

Medical consultation is free of charge, except for the costs of x-rays and medical tests

 What is your policy towards patients with depression or who have previously suffered from mental illness

It must be said that surgery is not the way to treat psychological illnesses, but the new height is a new value in life. This is why we assess the psychological discomfort of the patient as a result of problems in social adaptation due to short stature or leg deformities.

? What would you like to add

I hope that our patients who are about to undergo lengthening and height correction surgeries will realize their dreams, and our medical team will do everything in its power to fulfill their hopes without any suffering
