Hi, I don't know much about this procedure, but are there any internal methods for the lengthening the shins where I could have all the metal removed after surgery? Or will I have to permanently have metal in my body.

So this means after the bones consolidate I could remove all metal from my body? Meaning, my bones will be fine without ANY metal fixation?

That's so cool. Do you know if removing the metal after bone consolidation will increase the change of relapse during strenuous exercise?
