bigger risk with LON or with full External Lengthenin

Edit Post

Are you of the opinion that fully external lengthening is better in terms of comlications than LON method? (femur aswell as tibias).

External: - longer time in external device

Edit Post

Yeah.  Less invasiveness is better.

It didnt post my whole text somehow, so i repost now.

External: - longer time in the device -> more infections
              + can fix bow bones more easy

LON Method: - loss of bone narrow (is that even bad?)
                    - harder to fix bow bones
                    - more risks liek fat ebolism (which is deadly!)
                     - second surgery is required
                      - possible permanent knee pain
                     + less time in frame and less time for consolidation because of the IM nail supporting the leg

With pure external misalignement is comun risk

Bone marrow* regenerates. Yes, it would be very very bad to permanently lose the bone marrow since it’s the place where blood cells are produced.

Tibias don’t have blood reproduction cells
Young femurs like 25 years old or less, yes

Edit Post

yes im 19 years old. But I think these cells will come back again

? Is the only method where your doctor can fix literally everything everytime there is the need to

True, but some doctors aren't very good, so the nail in there acually helps keep the leg from getting too crooked.
