Hello. My little brother has achondroplasia, There is marked shortness of the arms and legs. He is now 8 years old but has the development of a 4-year-old. The lower part of his legs was operated on using the cage method when he was 6. Now I am researching surgery, but the treatment fees are very high. What should I do? Who are the best surgeons in the field in the Aegean region? Thank you very much in advance for answering these questions.
First of all, if you come to Istanbul, I can help you. I work in the Orthopedic Clinic of Istanbul Medical Faculty. I am on the board of the Ilizarov Association. If you want, you can reach our friends working around Izmir from our website. Every Wednesday we look at these patients in the outpatient clinic of Ilizarov. If you contact Mr. Erol in the orthopedics and traumatology department of Istanbul Medical Faculty in our clinic, he will help you. A busy hospital is not immediately, but we will help in a reasonable time Sincerely, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Halil ibrahim Balci
