is LON-femurs that bad ?

Hi Guys,
I would like to ask LLers who had their surgery using LON in the femurs
is it really that bad ? I am on budget and really need to do the surgery but should I wait and save for precice 2
Thanks .

I've personally met two people who had it done and they were both in agony the whole time.  Don't do it.

My issues with LON femur were:
- strong pain around the knee right after surgery
- ripped fascia and a protruding muscle bulge at one osteotomy spot
- ugly scars that needed expensive additional cosmetic surgery
- and my bow legs got worse because the doc let the straight femur bone get a bit more curved by the external fixator, and did not fix it to the full degree while fixing the nail.

>>Fixing all these additional problems amounted about to the same price as precise. But more importantly, don't choose the right doc.

I did not have pain issues with the fixator itself though.

Could you please also tell where they had surgery and what was the worst things that they have experienced?
