I have a consultation with Catagni on the 29th of february.
I will update you guys on what went on there and if I will do the surgery it will probably be in the end of august or september. I intend to write a diary.
Its a great choice!!!! A patient experience its the best way to know a Doctor.
What kind of method are you going to do?
I will follow your diary.
Great, TIBIKE,
I'm going to meet doctor Catagni next Sunday for a consultation.
If someone has some questions for him, please write here and I will ask them to the doctor and post his answers.
Glad to share this experience with you, TIBIKE

Why does he not do internal femurs for cosmetic? Aesthetic purpose only or technical as well?

Both
My understanding is that he does do internal tibias though. If I decide to do an inch from internal tibias (because I can't be in frames for that long), I will be going to Dr. Catagni for sure. He's really impressed me with the communication I've had with him.

In which way did he impress you?

Catagni is an expert, even a legend with Ilizarov based techniques for treating deformities and corrections. Because he is so good with one technique, I doubt he has a high internal nailing count and is probably not that comfortable with it.
In this case, I'd rather go to someone like Dr. M in Los Angeles who is not world renowned, but has done 50+ bilateral cases as of last year when I consulted.

If I will go with him, it will be using the Ilizarov technique for my tibias. He said during a phone conversation that aesthetically tibias are much better than femurs

Firstly,good luck! I will read your diary.
And for method,isnt it easier to hide if you do femurs?I mean your clothes will always hide your femurs,(even at the beach for example)and there will be scars with external tibias.
Don't we have longer femurs alredy?
