Free limb lengthening in clinical trial

Edit Post

Hi, i was acceped to take part in clinical trial of limb lengthening in Poland. Company is called orthoget and its some sort of internal nail. I am however not an ideal patient but doctor told me because of lack of ideal candidates he would performance surgery on me. The problem is with my femurs. For one they are slightly bowed and second my Channel inside bone is 14,2mm, /11,1 mm and the nail requires 12 mm. Is widening the Channel inside the bone to fit the nail a very bad idea? I really need to know!

Hi update. Lenghtening device was not working properly and legs consolidated, others had simmilar issues but some managed to lenghten using new device, im now waiting for date of new surgery to recut bone and check if nails are working properly if not they will be changed too. Theres susspicion with me specifically they might be faulty as theres not much consolidation visible on xray and strong magnet should be able to pull bones apart. Its been 2,5 months and im still at starting point, Horror i know

On the bright side i could walk with crutches from next day from surgery
