In generel doing tibias is a stupid idea unless your're planning on doing both segments femur + tibia or you find out after x-ray scanning that you have abnormally long femurs compared to tibias.

They heal slower, have a higher complication rate, increase chance of joint problems / early arthisis, less overall safe length achieved / cutting 2 bones (tibia+fibula) vs 1 for femur etc.

I am not confident that becker can handle complications because of lack of experience in ortho unlike parihar and other docs.

He was he started LL in 2013 only. Parihar is much more experienced compared to him cause he only does cosmetic LL and has no real world ortho experience whereas parihar treats very complex deformity and infection cases.  The only issue is precice is not available in India anymore.

won't do non-weight bearing nail outside india. So will go for betz. I guess if things go wrong I'll just catch the first available flight and go to parihar. I just hope he doesn't overream maybe will ask him to put the smallest diameter nail.

Quote from: Marie_Bard on June 22, 2023, 07:09:21 PMHow come you prefer Betz instead of Giotikas? I have heard some patients resorting to Giotikas after running into complications with Betz.

because of the weight bearing option.
