I am getting conflicting information the more I research the difference. Some say it's almost the same, while others say LON is better since LATN you're inserting the rod into the bone while it has already started healing. Another side says that LATN is safer because any issues would be corrected first, the rod is more capable for weight bearing and there are no knee issues.
My main worry is knee issues and less time vs external. Can someone compare the two and tell me which they prefer. Most doctors I have messaged seem to ignore this question too.
