Monorail is very unstable device, Holding pins can break easily and can bend too.
A broken pin can stuck in your bone , You may need another surgery to remove that broken pin( wire) or have to live with broken pin inside your bone for life long .
Walking with monorail can cause bone misalignment and pin can break during lengthening time.
