Femur Lengthening over 5-6 cm inevitably lead to malalignment

Edit Post

That still uses retrograde insertion just like the Reverse Planning Method

You risk knee pain. I think it's better to just go with antegrade insertion and deal with the slight misalignment.

By the time we are old we will have a cure for arthritis anyways

Other option is to not go over 6cm in femurs and you can avoid knee pain and misalignment.

Yeah I plan on doing 5 cm femurs antegrade nailing

I think it's pretty conservative for long term recovery

i didnt understand anything can you explain

Edit Post

coud you explain abit and also i  put a link to anew method where there is no misalignment

why you risk knee pain eventhough you are doing  femur you have just blow my mind i was planning to undergo 6 cm tibia and 8 internal femur if you could give some advice i am  5.7 too short a guy where i live

If you do antegrade nailing on femurs you don't risk knee pain

Internal tibias and retrograde nailing on femurs risks knee pain

thanks .but still we dot know does the malalignment happens with stryde the weight bearing nail .i think its stronger and can prevent such issue

Hey Medium!

1. If you lived in the DC area, who would you go to to save money on internal nail removal? Would you go to Parihar or does the dirtiness of his facility make it a bad idea?

2. If you go abroad for internal nail removal, will you have to fly there twice (once for consultation, once to get nail removal surgery done) and does this make it not worth it?

3. Are you the leader of this forum and what ever happened to Apotheosis in the old forum? Sued into oblivion?
