I was planning on doing 7cm lengthening, seems like for proportion and for this amount internals would be ideal, however I got a low budget, 5k to 15k dollars.
Is there any doctors that do internals for that price?
I think Dr Mitkovic in Serbia does internals for pretty cheap compared to other doctors, I think around $20,000, don't quote me on that though.
I am in the same situation as you, i live in France and i am looking for internal femur with fast weight bearing for the cheapest price ...
20-30k$ is the cost of internal self-lengthening nails alone. At least they are sold for that price, the production cost is probably 1$
The Betz nail and I think a recent version of ISKD is also full weight bearing.
Precise and Fitbone are only partial weight bearing.
Quote from: jimpoFr on August 17, 2017, 07:18:35 PMI have just got the answer from Mitkovic and he asks 30900Euros for internal femur lengthening , with precice 2.
DO you guys know nails other than the guichet nail which allows full weight bearing ?
Really 31k that is a very good price if it is for precise 2.
I thought I read that he doesn't have a lot of experience with Precise. Can someone correct me if I'm wrong?
The price for two of Dr. Mitkovic's own patented internal nails will be as low as 16.000 EUR - including surgery.
Putting the nail at the side of the bone is even less invasive than traditional internal nails.
If this holds true, he will be offering both, the superior and the cheapest internal solution worldwide.

Youre wrong. If side internal femur nails were superior most surgeons would actually use it. There is a reason why million of dollars are being into full internal nails. Also you're overestimating Dr Mitovic. His externals are inferior to any Ilizarov frame(valgus issue), also there is an actually patient on this forum who did 6 cm on tibias and then his tibia axis was messed up. He had gone to Spain to fix it. He never reviled who his doctor was but only Mitovic uses his device. I know they messed you up in India so be very careful when you choose your next doctor.
