Quote from: ll3ll on January 05, 2017, 03:14:49 PMI had previously thought Guichet or nobody else, but recently have been thinking a lot more about Parihar - Penguinn was the first person to do it with him which seems risky but so far seems to have gone really well. I also spoke to a buddy of mine who's an orthopedic surgeon and true to what Parihar said, longitudinal rod insertion is a pretty easy procedure as far as orthopedic procedures go, so there rest of it would just be limiting timing of lengthening, PT, etc., which seems like something Parihar could handle given his experience with other lengthening surgeries. People also suffer huge complications when going to Guichet as with anyone else, so it's kinda hard to say at the price point of 30k why you shouldn't at least consider Parihar.


I'm biased since I went to Dr. Guichet, but If price is an issue why not look into Dr. Birkholtz too?   

I think his prices are similar to Dr. Parihar and he seems to have more experience with precice. Dr. Parihar seems like a solid surgeon surgeon too with plenty of experience in other methods, but if you were worried about being one of his first precice LL patients.

Not a Guichet fanboy by any means but the reason I'm going with him is the following:

-Only weight bearing nail commercially available
-Complication costs included in the £52,000 list price
-UK based so heavily regulated
-Doesn't appear to be a businessman out to grab my money to make a quick buck

When I spoke to him he is looking at designing an automated nail but said he needed a £2 million investment?  my choices for doctors-5cm internal femurs (help me out!)
As an engineer I find it hard to believe the development cost alluded to but I see no reason for him to lie.

Can someone clarify something for me. Is Dr Parihar experienced in internal surgeries, I know that Penguinn is his first Precise 2 surgery but did he use the Precise 1 before?

He's done tons of nailings but I was the first Precice nail patient.
