hey guys,
I'm from Brazil. I've done tibias here by LON, I gained 4cm. I went from 152 to 156 lol. Now I intend to do femurs. The problem is that here in Brazil there is only LON or ISKD for Femurs. The FITBONE Nail is expected to arrive in the second half of 2023. But I can't wait until then and even then the surgery with her should be around 60k USD which is basically the price of a surgery with Dr GIOTIKAS with G - Nail. So I wanted your opinion:
Do I do ISKD here in my country or do I go to Athens and do G-Nail?
Things to Favor Here in Brazil:
ISKD: Much cheaper than G-Nail
The doctor is used to this rod, if there is a problem he has the solution to solve it, although in the last surgeries all of them had some kind of problem (Triggering the stretching, not wanting to stretch, etc)
I will be close to home and communication will be perfect.
Cons:
Fear of the ISKD Rod giving a problem
Does not support weight (I will have to be in a wheelchair)
G-NAIL
In Favor:
support my weight
more independence
treatment time should be shorter
Against:
More expensive than ISKD
I will be in another country (Language Barrier)
