Quote from: QuarkSoup on December 22, 2022, 01:11:11 PMAll doctors would say the samething because this is how bones form they react to forces applied upon them. If your bones doesnt feel any force you might as well lie all day long samething. Precise is not a full weight bearing nail this is why patients have amazing bone healing while almost all stryde patients experienced non union. Also you don't need to lie down all day long with precise you can walk. Here Jonathan from Institute of Human Anatomy explains it. Video's name is How your bones changes with exercise
This is just complete bs. Sry but no. Just no. With all due respect. Stop spreading such misinformation.
With precice you can‘t weightbear so you sit and lie around. Your muscles atrophy much more, are harder to stretch and always in a shortened position while sitting in a wheelchair.
That’s the first thing. The second thing is for bone healing it‘s important to have enough nutrients / blood being transported to the fracture site. This is why femur heals quicker (more proximal equals more blood supply in that area).
This is stimulated by walking around/biking/training etc.
Next, wtf “almost all stryde patients experience non union”. Wtf?. All the doctors used stryde and it was the superior nail in all aspects. The reason it got pulled back is corrosion, not nonunion. You just made that up.
I know nobody out of many years of research and doing it myself. Seeing patients. That had nonunion because of weightbearing in femur. The only people that had it were having severe complications like deep bone infection, runaway nail, etc.
But hey at least you can stand up with precice and break some screws, bend the nail or rebreak your bones 
Also, the video you send me is entirely out of context and has nothing to do with LL. Even if you were to connect bone remodeling over a long term course with immediate fracture healing… it doesn’t make sense at all
LON Tibia with Dr Yukksel Yurttas
The first couple of days, it's definitely strange because you can feel your bone moving around in your legs. Like even if you lightly touch the fixator, you will have an uncomfortable feeling in your legs from it, like a vibration. Kinda why I hate LON. Maybe I'm just a pussy.
You must have a strong upper body for this process btw. Make sure your upper body and arms are atleast strong enough to pick your whole body weight up by itself. I used to lift and do weights and stuff so I don't have too much of a problem.

Lol! I'm trying to be as descriptive as possible at the exact moment I feel those pains. Hopefully it's not too annoying or anything.
I just completed another lengthening. Having the same right leg issue where I get a very sharp pain in my tibialis anterior muscle when completing it. Holy it sends you to heaven.
From the “height” of my older self and my older age, let me try to speculate what is possibly going on here.
-in the last few months we’ve seen an influx of Gnail and Betzbone patients who have practically debunked the older rationale that clicking was an atrocious experience only comparable to torture.
-Together with that we also realised through the same patients that the Greece and Germany options seem to be quite pleasant and that both teams there are quite competent.
-Stride ain’t coming back anytime soon and ita replacement is looking behind schedule as well.
-new prospective patients (from the US too) are starting to move to destinations where they offer weight bearing nails.
-these ain’t anymore 3rd world destinations that people are scared of. And prices and packages are more affordable.
-somebody loosing revenue
-somebody starting to release the hounds to try and run a scaremongering campaign on the people of this forum.
May not be this case, but every time you follow the money, you always get somewhere very interesting.

Did you talk about this pain with your doctor? I havent done tibia but I really think noone can feel anything while lenghtening merely 0.025cm. Maybe the pain comes from the torque you apply to the device but not from the result of lenghtening itself?
Do they have only one physiotherapist ? Everytime i watch their videos, they always show only Fatma

No they have a couple more.

Yeah and I won't shut up about it until it goes away.
