I want to do LON with a doctor who have done only 3, but successful surgeries yet. On the other side, he has done many classic external surgeries from 5 to even 10 cm in one segment. The reason why I want to choose him is because of the cheapness of the surgery with him and because he is living in my home country. My goal would be to do 8 cm in femur. Do you think If the doctor is proficient in Ilizarov method he can be trusted to do the LON method?

He is orthopedic surgeon (mostly cosmetic, because most of his pa :Dtients came to fix leg deformities) and has done only 3 LON surgeries. He has never done only intetnal surgeries. Unfortunately I only know that these 3 surgeries were successful, but don't know about any complications during surgeries. And also almost all of his surgeries were done in tibia

Wow. I am hearing about it the first time. Could you please explain the reason for this? And as I understood doing full externals on femur is even more dangerous.
