Hi,
I've pretty much settled on doing tibuas with external frames. As well as this surgery, however, I'm also planning to have jaw surgery for a functional issue.
I'll have to really ask the doctors to know for sure, but I don't want to mention the limb lengthening to the orthogonatic surgeon until I know I'm actually doing it.
What do you think are the likely considerations for scheduling these two surgeries? Would it be better to do one or the other first? And say if I did limb lengthening first, would there be any issue (besides the cumbersome nature of the frames) to having the surgery done while being in the frames?
Cheers.
