I was thinking about getting LON tibia because external is out of the question for me. According to this paper incidence of knee pain after tibia nailing has been reported as high as 86%.

It doesn't make sense to do tibia at all if that's the case. What do y'all think? MDOW and other users also reported knee pain but their pain got improved over time. Is the knee pain greater than the mental pain you have to endure due to short height?
