In the old thread a lot of people do like 7cm tibias and not stryde nail.
Are the risks/complications less now with a better nail and having a reasonable goal of lengthening?
Any vets that took the nail/rod out experience random pain like some people who do but still have the rod in? (movie, etc).
Unfortunately the largest body of evidence when it comes to CLL is stuff extrapolated from the trauma literature.
However, I think the best evidence is that several well-respected surgeons in the USA are performing these surgeries on patients every week. If these surgeons are willing to put their entire reputation/livelihood on the line, I'm sure they at least consider it safe enough for most.

I mean all the doctors make you sign a form so they don’t take any responsibility afterwards, and tell us about the consequences.
Also, a lot of the doctors imo think downplay the recovery time. That’s why I want an updated list with people who used stryde
In terms of risks and complications it's not any different than it was.
Ilizarov, Albizzia/G-Nail, Bliskunov/Jamal Nail were available back then and all support weight bearing. Lots of people stopped at 5 cm on tibias too.
