Yes, 1mm per day, it would take two months to complete the stretching (5-6cm), but how long it would take to remove the irons pins LON?
You put the nail after distraction

this nail would forever or be removed after recovered?
I meant to say after distraction you only keep the nail in. Frame is removed.
What left me in doubt in reading this international forum is that in Brazil doctors see no problem, after recovering, to leave the board or screw in the bone forever
I think the best idea is to see a doctor to remove the rod at the end of 2 to 3 years of distraction
It should be there for maximum 2 years, forever?
?? I think it can damage the body because of the ions or something like that.

I think it can damage the body too, but doctors say they have no problem, I have doubt, then I will ask to withdraw
Hmmm, ask for a second opinion if they tell you the same, run to another country.
Quote from: caioOo8900 on November 03, 2016, 06:33:49 PMHello 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
Sorry, I have no knowledge about ISKD.

The nail is also thinning the bone marrow temporarily.

thank you anyway
So it's best to remove all (nail and rod) after a while, no matter what the method used ? good luck in your treatment
