consequences of monorail on femur ,I will explain point to point.
Monorail is very unstable device, Holding pins can break easily and can bend too.
A broken pin can stuck in your bone , You may need another surgery to remove that broken pin( wire) or have to live with broken pin inside your bone for life long .
Walking with monorail can cause bone misalignment and pin can break during lengthening time.
Misalignment can lead to hip and knee joint osteoarthritis in early age .
Some drs says Till 5° is okay but even this 5° will cause a lot of problem in your joints
Flexion of knee is hard to get back upto 135 to 140 .
knee joint space can reduce and patient will endup with deformities like genu valgum or varus

These are some major problems with monorail in femur
better to avoid monorail in femur , Monorail in femur is very complicated
