QuoteYou will go externals only with monorails?
I did it and it was a bad decision. Even latn is not a good one because if there is a malunion (which almost always there will be with monorails) it can't fix anything.
The only way for monorails is lon. I did externals only with them and I have a relatively major misalignment in my right tibia which I fixed 5 years after LL with a new surgery and a plate.
Also, monorails are not weight bearing almost at all. This means that you should stay in bed for at least 3-4 months till your bone is strong enough to walk with the minimal assistance that monorails provide.

Bad decision and I really wonder nowadays which doctors do monorails without lon. They are at best totally irresponsible.
Don't even think to go over 5cm with monorails, you may end up crippled.So, did you walk with a limp because of abnormal bone fusion?

No, I walk normally. Even after the malunion I had I walked almost normal as it wasn't that big and the ankle compensated. But now I've fixed it.

Ebook12345 you are the only LLer I've seen in this forum that did externals only with monorails like me.
You are not able to walk, right? And you won't be for.many months more as monorails have almost zero weight bearing capabilities.

I had to lengthening with just monorails! The incompetent butcher Yuksel Yurttas put that   on me and am suffering from a bone deformity to this day!

LLT no longer uses monorails? How do they lengthen with LON tibia & femur then?
