Dude, I'm devastated. I had surgery booked for 23 june with Precice.
Giotikas sends this today https://www.athensbjr.com/update-on-the-nuvasive-specialized-orthopedics-precice-device-system/
I think I am going to have to do externals, since I just want 5 cm. Please, can someone give advice?
is it banned only in europe or everywhere? it says some CE certificate is now removed. what does that mean for U.S.A. ??
v21, sorry bubba, but I think you should wait for precice to be back
externals are a pain and everyone will know your doing this procedure
aesthetically long tibias dont look great.
Mr Donghoon Lee of Korea has published a study of functional recovery after LON lengthening at his practice. the results are promising. But there is no comparison between results between tibias and femurs anywhere.
Mr Rob Rozbruch of NYC said in an interview to our boy cyborg4life that he prefers femurs because it is surrounded by vascularity and heals faster. but is the final outcome comparable? I dont think there are any studies on this honestly.
you should consider going to Korea coz they do LON all the time. he has a youtube channel which shows good recovery from several LON patients.
atleast with external you are doing an age old technique which has no unknowns like precice and stryde do. I think you simply cannot wait for precice you would be ok with externals mate.

Long tibias look good lol what are you talking about
Femurs make your knees sit shorter while tibias make your knees slightly higher
Your tibias are naturally shorter than femurs anyways
Besides the scarring and heaviness of external fixators, they are pretty much the same as internal, arguably better in that they are fully weight bearing and have a long track record of being biocompatible. The intramedullary rods used in LON/LATN are typically titanium and highly biocompatible with bones, similar to those rods used in trauma surgeries. The only downside is that is pin infections are very common and the chances of deep infection still could be present(similar to internal rods).

Yeah, my worry is that 5 cm femurs is considered really really safe, while 5 cm tibia, while safe, is much more taxing (like 7 femur?). I care a lot about athletic recovery, I guess it also depends on proportions. I think my tibia is short, but must get X rays to really be sure about ratio. I also know there is knee pain risk, but as far as I know it's not that high. Has anyone has experience on long run athletic recovery win 5 CM LATN?
And is it full weightbearing or just crutches? Thanks and sorry for the noob questions, I had done deep research but just about femurs, but not much about tibia
This Japanese man did LON a few years ago, still pretty active recently and doing well! You could take a look at his channel
