62,500 for femurs, but is going to be pricier if you're going for more than 6.5 cm since he expects 4+ months for 8cm rather than 3 (and it's an all-in package, including food, meds, and housing).
To be clear: I did not ask for fitbone costs but he made no mention of different pricing.
Quote from: badgerbrocktree on January 09, 2025, 10:03:33 PMI just got off a call with Dr. Birkholtz about my own surgery. He offers both the fitbone and p2.2, but he urged me to go with p2.2 since his installation and lengthening using p2.2 is a basic Tuesday, whereas fitbone is still experimental territory for him.
IMO this process is going to be filled with anxiety as is, and I don't want to be freaking out everyday over potential bent nail / alignment problems because I'm pushing the boundaries of a device that may or may not be properly weightbearing.
EDIT: grammar
Is the fitbone he offered weight bearing?
With the additional delays of the new Precice, you could have had your lengthening done and beam just about recovered when using the old system as opposed to continuing to wait for a possible release that may get pushed back yet again.

It's semi-weightbearing in theory, but not officially approved as a weightbearing device. I forgot the actual weight limit, but it's something >=200lbs.
