Thanks for referencing Jungle's diary. Here it is for those interested.
Jungle - External Tibias - Doctor Withheld - 2007 - Jungle's Workout Routine! (http/www edit)
Yeah, I think he only had a ballerina problem because his starting tibia length was too low (5'2" man) for a 6.5 cm gain desired at a 1mm/daily rate. It took him 10 weeks to get to 6 CM which I think is pretty good and he never complained about pain at all. His rate of recovery seems decent too considering be probably went over 20% tibia length. Here he says:
"Finally, after 4 months I started to walk again without support. Still walking like a penquin but i feel really good to walk without supports, not even holding a wall. However, i can only walk about a few metres without supports. And at the moment i can walk about one hour non-stop with a walker and i walk 2 hours total in a day for my exercise routine. My legs would lost power completely if i walk more than one an hour"
Is that a relatively fast rate of recovery compared to other methods?
This doctor looks good imo. Idk why people are scared of his devices compared to other externals. WannaBeGiant, there is only 1 surgery required with those monorails, so less trauma to bones, and they are not as inconvenient as Russian or Chinese externals to wear for a few months. You would still not consider them? Sure more pins = more stability, but if you look at the photos in that link there doesn't look like there's much risk of the device being destabilized or damaged anyway since it only covers 1 side of the leg instead of encompassing it. He can even sit on the floor with them.
