Quote from: Medium Drink Of Water on January 27, 2021, 05:20:18 PMDr. Mitkovic and Dr. Xia both offered it,although internals were not available in their countries. I think I remember Dr. Assayang mentioning a colleague of his in the U.S. who thinks it's acceptable as well.Yes it is because externals on femurs can lead to permanent nerve and muschle damage due to mucle tearing from nails which, esoecially on monorails are huge.
If someone can't afford an expensive internal nail, and really wants femur LL, and is informed of how painful it is, is offering that surgery really exploitation?
Crazy 6 on the past forum did external femurs on India and he was almost crippled.
So no, doctors who offer femurs lon or externals only is not professionals, nor to be trusted.
And after all, there is literally NO reason to do external/lon femurs instead of tibias if you only plan to do one segment.
So doing lon on femurs, especially if you never did LL on tibias, is completely wrong for all the reasons available.
