Yeah. screws can get loose when you walk. But you like doctors who say to patients to walk in the very early stages and that could happen with them too. It is a risk that you have with this surgery. Like many others. But by the moment im walking carefully and with no problem.

It's not the same. Guichet nail is the only one which allows early weight-bearing. His patients can walk because the nail allows them to walk. The screws are very thick and powerful.
If you use Fitbone, you can't walk in the early stages of LL because screws get loose and there is a high risk of accidents and malfunction of implants. You have the same problem with Precise but Fitbone is riskier.

I actually think I'm somewhere between 7-7.4cm, when I stopped clicking around 7. My height increase seems to be about 7cm (based on evening height, and Dr. G measured me in the late afternoon and another doctor did the same early evening). I think you lose a few mm due to the angle of femurs, but it's mostly negligible.

If only there was such a device for tibias. One of these surgeons needs to come out with an easier way to do tibias, or at least make them heal faster. Then I'd 100% be heading for tibs (already strongly considering it for 2017 or 2018, as I'm only about 70% recouped what I spent on Dr. G).

Wait a minute, Precise doesn't work in tibias?

Yes it does
