Quote from: assa13ssin on January 17, 2017, 12:17:49 PMwhy do you think fitbone is superior to the Guichet nail? Is there full weight bearing with the fitbone? when can you walk without crutches during LL?
Is there full weight bearing with the Guichet's albizzia nail? He does claim so but all I've read through the diaries is that people would rather use the wheelchair to move around bcuz they can't tolerate the pain while walking. Also, while every fitbone user breezes past the clicking phase, Guichet's patients sound like they're being tortured to death. Monegals patients can walk unaided between 2 weeks to 1 month after the lengthning phase, depending on bone regeneration.
Im also a bit concerned about Takanori and Unicorn888 because they suddenly stopped updating their diaries.
I do think that precise and fitbone are one step ahead of Guichet's albizzia nail because his nail is simply outdated.
Limb Lenghtening with Dr Guichet 2017
I believe there is a bit too much propaganda about Dr. Monegal in the forum. The Fitbone is only partial weight bearing. Why would anyone choose Fitbone over Precise (FDA approved , much more research done)? I've read many cases about Fitbone malfunctioning, patients requiring multiple surgeries, etc. For Precise and GNail you only need 2.
About the difference in surgical skill, the learning curve is about numbers. Of course Dr. Paley and Dr. Guichet are better than Dr. Monegal. In my humble opinion, Dr Paley is a "extra safe" Iphone 7 , Dr. Guichet is a "weight-bearing , sportive" Iphone 7 and Dr. Monegal is that Chinese smart phone which in many cases is as successful as the others, but it's just not the same.

I don't know who you're trying to fool but their have been Precise and Gnail patients who required multiple surgeries as well. While I agree that precise is a good nail, Gnail can only be a stone age iphone 7.
As I said, the main advantage of the Gnail is the weightbearing, but we can agree to disagree on that one. However, it is a fact that it is more likely that a Fitbone user requires more surgeries and the nail malfunctions more than the Precise.

Btw and even though we haven't had many precise diaries lately, I'd like to point out that the latest precise diary that we have in this forum reported a malfunction with 1 nail.

Of course I did not say Precise is infallible, merely that it is a safer bet than Fitbone. Also, I didn't say Dr. Monegal is a bad doctor, I merely highlighted that Dr. Guichet and Dr. Paley are much more experienced. In any case, this is a diary not a discussion board for a brand of nail or other. Neither is it a competition board among LL doctors. I will be having limb lengthening with Dr. Guichet and I intend to be 100% truthful about surgery and post op recovery.

I didn't even notice it was a diary until now lmao.
Good luck with your LL journey, stay safe.
lol at all the marketing for dr monegal
hey LLsouthamerica- not a current LLer, but I also did the operation with dr guichet in milan back in 2015 so feel free to message me if you ever need any advice
since you're doing the pre op training, I'd recommend not only training hard for that month, but also to see the sights and enjoy any other touristy things too while you can. it was so much harder to do those things after the surgery. best of luck!
funny how its only monegal's patients who praise him that much in an almost childish fashion... This and the fact there isnt a single monegal's diary on old forum adds alot of suspition.... I will not even talk about cooper's case and MM's hiding the fact she was not ok for months...
Tell monegal to stop sending you guys for marketing... Its just sad

Exactly! I can honestly say I would not have surgery with Dr. Monegal even if someone else way paying for it. The horrible results of Cooper & Musicmaker are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Dr. Monegal. As with icebergs the majority of it is underneath the waterline where you can't see it. For every disaster like Cooper & Musicmaker there are likely 4-5 other patients we will never know about who are ruined for life.
