Hi,

You could help me make a decision. I'm Brazilian and here in my country only LON is available in the femur now, in 2022 it seems that nail fitbone will arrive. I don't have a lot of financial resources but if I save and take out a loan I will be able to make the femur in October 2022 with Giotikas for Precice. What would you advise me to do LON here in Brazil (currently I have money to do it) or add more money and make the femur next year with Giotikas or even fitbone here in Brazil?

Thank you friends

I am not sure about your doc experience with LL if he is a good doc then go for LON else giotikas.

if it is to do LON, better do it here in Brazil. But something tells me that LON in the femur is not going to be easy.

I would like to make the femur, because I can get more height.

External femurs is not recommended by most good doctors. Some do, but I personally don't want to take a chance with something which not all LL doctors agree on. It's already a risky procedure.

My opinion may be controversial, but I would say it is best to save up a bit more and do it without taking a loan.

This would allow you to keep the loan as an option if something goes wrong and another surgery is needed. If you use the loan for the surgery itself, what will you do if there are complications?

Hi Increase

Why not consider LON Tibia? It seems the results are just few cm difference between the femur and Tibia on average and with less complications. Then recover, start your new life, potentially earn more and if you still desire do femurs. I know the desire to become taller but do not rush, friendly advice.
