Happy New Year LL peeps!

I just want to ask a question, I’m about to do my LL hopefully early this year ( no more procrastinating for me ), at first I wanted to do internal femur but my tibias are quite short so I’ll do tibias instead or tibias first then femur in the future, I read that the general consensus is that externals for tibias is the way to go but now I’m having my doubts because of the scars, if you are me would you consider internal tibias? is it safe? If yes then to which doctor will you go and what will be your max cm to lengthen? let’s say my budget is 20-50k USD including everything (meds, accommodation, food etc.) maybe 60k USD but I’m hoping I won’t spend that much. I’m also looking for the fastest journey I can to come back to normal life.

Hoping for your replies and advices, it would be a good help in making my decision.

If you want to do tibias,the safest method is the external one.
The use of intramedullary nails causes high risks (we are talking about a percentile near to 50%) of developing permanent knee pain.There is a whole thread in the forum with studies and articles regarding it
Your budget is good for doing external tibias,there are several interesting doctors around it

EXTERNAL is the better option
first it's less expensive, but also less risks for tibia
but for femur, only INTERNAL

I agree, but I’m not sure if Dr.Pili and Dr.Parihar do LATN, and if I’ll go to Italy who would be better Dr.Pili or Dr.Catagni? I believe they work together in most cases but still you need to choose between the 2 of them.

Catagni have more experience, but yes they are working together

I would add Xia/Lee, thought the money they ask is nothing less than daylight robbery, highly educated white collar thieves

most of doctors ae thieves, in US all doctors are more than thieves - they are decoits who would sell their souls for money, majority of LL doctors are thieves in the world (including Donghoon) , Xia/Lee are biggest thieves
