Quote from: caioOo8900 on November 03, 2016, 07:43:56 AMPenguinn hi ,You will remove the rod after treatment or the doctor said you would stay with her forever? The doctor said something about not having trouble keeping the rod in the femur forever? thank you and good luck
There is no doctor recommend to keep it forever. mostly 1-3 years after the surgery it should be removed
So your lengthening 1mm a day.
Have you heard about stem cells? I have been reading a lot about them and they're proving to be a very good accelerant for the healing process.

Waiting it out is a much simpler option. Unless for some reason my consolidation is awfully slow and has problems, I won't even consider it.
At my next meeting I'll ask Dr. Parihar his thoughts on it though, just cause I'm curious.
Penguinn, have you been lengthening everyday since the start of your lengthening or have you had any holidays till now?
If you have had holidays, how many of them and why did you have them?

Haven't needed any holidays yet.
Hello Penguinn , I'm from Brazil, and here the precice II method has not yet arrived, so what we have is LON or ISKD (rod manufactured by Orthofix company). I chose to do ISKD femur (internal), which would be the closest to precice II, my doubt is, you know something about about ISKD (Orthofix), you recommend the method ,or know a problem about ISKD(Orthofix)?
what is the best method, LON or ISKD in your opinion ?thank you
Don't you have to decide beforehand how much to lengthen with ISKD?
Is very probable that you have problems with ISKD ,is inaccurate, after 5 cm mainly.

It would be 8 cm(3 inches) in clinical Affonso Ferreira Institute ( city of Campinas/sp, Brazil)
