Is the 2 months per cm estimate for externals including lengthening or excluding lengthening?

Hoping to get 2 cm with externals in 3 months with BMAC and externals.

Are you talking about pure externals or LON

Planning pure externals (2 cm) + stryde (8cm) = total 10 cm

So the estimate is just an estimate, low cm will not work as well with this approximation formula. You will probably need 4 months for pure externals to fully heal even with bmac. Remember with pure externals u need almost full consolidation and that takes a bit

I'll do it in a quadrilateral manner so it won't be much of a concern. But, I hope that I can get externals removed in 3-3.5 months. Just waiting for stryde now. Hopefully, by Jan they'll fix it.
