In Brazil we only have Ilizarov, LON or ISKD. What would you do (Ilizarov, LON or ISKD) and in which place (tibia or femur) , thank you

And what if your body doesn't adapt well and you wanna slow down lengthening, maybe speed it up etc? And what if you get complications and need to stop at 6.5?

Ok, LON is an exteral/internal method so you would have to wear frames for at least 2.5 months, ISKD is not very recommended but if I were you I would use it for 5-6 cm in the femurs, internal is a lot comfortable than external.

I intend to lengthen according to which the tests are showing that possible. If I have complications and need to stop at 6.5, I would stop the stretch, would not do anything that would cause me harm '' permanent ''

if you use LON, how you lengthen maximum (5--6 cm or 7---8 cm )

Edit Post

If you use LON you shouldnt go above 6 cm, going over 6 is a terrible mistake.

Id probably do 5 since its external.

By the method LON if you make 5 cm of the tibia, how long it would take to remove the irons on the outside of the leg?

Edit Post

After lenghtening. You lengthen 0.66-1mm per day. You start lengthening around a week after surgery. Do the math.

Edit Post

Another issue on the LON method, doctors in Brazil say after removing irons, one needs to put a board in the bone, to finish recovering the bone. Is there a problem, does anyone know if I could stay with this board without problems, forever screwed into the bone?
Because all doctors in Brazil say the person have no problem to keep the rod(iskd) or board after LON in the bone forever.
