is this how scarring will look on mitkovics device, because if so those scars look quite decent compared to the ilazarov scars, might not actually get scar revision surgery if they look like that, you could even cover some of them up with a simple plaster.
those scars are much worse than normal ilizarov scars

god no.. the scars from this device look much better than that..
oh really, it looks way better than that picture i saw of KiloKAHN's LON scars.
Kilokahn had a lot of pins stuck into his leg because he's a big guy, so that's not necessarily what the Ilizarov scars are going to look like either. I was 135 lbs when I did the surgery and got away with only four pins per leg: two by the knee and two by the ankle.
Where did you find that photo?
it's on the old forum, body builders diary, he got monorails with a dr. he prefered not to name, the device looked kind of cool though, much more minimalistic than mitkovics.
DiscreteUser if my bones pre-consolidate, can I stop lengthening and go to the consolidation phase and not have to do the re-cutting operation, or must the re-cutting of fibula be done.
obviously the height i have gained to that point would be my final height.

your tibias arent going to consolidate its just ur fibulas u have to worry bout.. but i doubt ur fibulas will consolidate that fast anyway.. if u havent reached ur goal and fibulas do consolidate u may need minor surgery to recut the fibula so u can continue lengthening.. but i doubt ull have to do that
but it happened to you after about 3cm didn't it, why wouldn't it happen to me lol.
but yes if that does happen, i can call it quits on the whole thing then, as if that does happen at the 4cm mark it is likely i will do that, rather than another re surgery for another cm.

if u read my diary it goes through what happened to me at the start.. where i changed my mind when i only had my right leg broken and decided i wasnt going to follow through. i didnt start lengthening the right leg until almost 3 weeks in,, because id been walkin on it, my early indecision to lengthen prevented my fibula from pulling apart quick enough and allowed it to consolidate..
