Advice for 4-5 cm, thinking about dr Buldu

Edit Post

HI All

I would like to do ll for 4-5 cm. I know stryde/internal femurs would be the best option but unfortunately I don't have the funds for internals.
So my only option would be externals or lon. External only would mean to wear the frames for a very long time, time which I won't have. So my only option would be lon. With lon tibia, there is the risk of permanent knee pain, and with femurs there is the issue of ROM and of course more discomfort. At the moment i'm inching towards lon monorail femurs with buldu. What do you guys think? and does anyone have pictures of the scar from monorail femurs (with buldu)?

Thanks for the reply. Don't you think that the issue of limited ROM wont't be a big deal with just 4-5cm? And if everythings goes fine i'm will be wearing the fixator for max 2 months. Quote from: Activatedxx on June 20, 2021, 09:56:24 AM
I can testify to this

Hi activatedex, I hope everything is going smooth.
I understand the agony of having the fixator around the femurs, thats why i'm still uncertain. But looking at the videos on buldus instagram, i see lots of patients being mobile. What did you observe when you were there?
