mitkovic monorail fixators for sale

Edit Post

Is anyone interested in purchasing my used monorail mitkovic fixators.  Im having a clear out but I don't want to throw them away or put in a box for years to come that I will forget about
I have 2 fixators and nearly all the pins minus 1 or 2

I know some may just like the novelty of owning a piece of early ll history    before all the million new types of inventions became available

Any offers?

Lol. What general price range are we talking about? Can you post some pics? Maybe Ripley's Beleieve It Or Not or some museum might be interested.

I wonder if Dr. Mitkovic will perform operation on you with discounted price if you buy the fixators from ant and take them with you.

It's an intriguing offer for a piece of history (an alternate history I never got to live).  I just wish I had a place to put them.  My place is so full of stuff as it is.

That's the thing lads.  To me, these fixators changed my life in so many ways.  I feel a great deal of attachemnet to them.  It almost feels like Im selling a lung but as I said its something that someone can have a five minute play with and store away for the future .  It still brings a sense of warmth just looking at them.  My leg lengthening journey was a total nightmare and very hard at times and I just feel I need to sell them to bring it all to a end and so I can start a new chapter in my life.  I just cant bring myself to throw them away and to store them just doesn't feel right.  I owe these fixators a lot.  Without the mitkovoic treatment I feel I would have totally gone medically insaine. 
My diary is still on old forum , and will be for along time Id imagine. 
Some people collect stamps, cards, books and other stuff that others see as a total waste of time and money.  The fixators are in that category.  To most people they are rubbish/trash and should be binned but to some they are genuine ll history that they can keep for themselves

Just looked over the fixators
1 fixator is for femur and the other fixator is for tibia

makes it a bit more of a bargain I guess

I went to Serbia first but things didn't work out.  It was one of the biggest disappointments of my life.

Hi Ant,

Did you ever discuss with Dr Mitkovic the greater possibility of misalignment with monorails compared to ring fixators? As I understand it there's greater risk of that happening with monorails, making the possibility of developing early arthritis slightly higher than with the ring fixators.
