External on Tibia

Edit Post

Hello everyone !

I plan to do my surgery for the shins on November. I would like to do external but I have some questions! I understand that there is different methods of external surgery like LON LATN and TSF.

I think I understand how they work but I don’t understand which one is better than the others?

Some people say that you have to wait 3 month after the surgery to remove the frames and others says it’s after 6-9 month ! What do you think about this?

Thanks you!

Thank you for your answer ! I see .. it explains why with LON and LATN we remove the frame after only 3 months ..
The maximum gain on external tibia that is recommended is 5-6 cm?

I have seen many people who have exceeded this limit up to 8 even 10 and have had no problem I have trouble understanding why ..
