Do I MUST remove the nails with LON method?

Edit Post

Hello everybody,

I'm in the last days of the first phase of my limb lenghtening project and next tuesday i'll get the second surgery to remove the fixators and lock the nails. I had the femurs lengthened.

Talking to the doctor he said i dont necessarily need the third surgery to remove the internal nails. So my plans t avoid a third procedure and spending more money was to try a normal life with the nails in my bones

The surgery and area are clean. My bones are recovering greatly after a 5cm and nearly 3 months from the first surgery. No big pains, infections, nothing. Just discomfort.

I wonder what are the problems of making this decision. Do I must remove it? (From a clinical/medical point of view of course) or is it safe to let it in? Why must someone remove the nails?

Not known in the community
But certainly a good doctor in my country. He actually has a clinic with 2 partners and they are probably the best intheir field over here

but i wanted to hear other opinions about that. Im a little bit confused with this and im a little afraid of him not being fair. But i still doubt very much

Anyway do you have an answer?
