Hi, it is been a while since I found this forum, I have a lttle confusion about the tibia lengthening. It is obvious to do femur LL with stryde, but how about the tibia? According to what I learned, the safe length for both device is around 6.5cm, but it seems that Lon could solve the deformity of calf, I have a little bowleg, just a little yet. And maybe with stryde, you will recovery and come back to work earlier. But how about complications, some LLers said that Lon can cause superfical infection, which is not a big problem under antibiotic medicine, however, the permanent pain could happen after Lon, right? On the contrary, the PE(pulmonary embolism) seems common in internal device like stryde, and even I heard that it can result in persistent knee pain, I am not sure about it. Is there anybody could answer it? I am really appreciate it. Thanks! 
PS. I probably will go with Dr. donghoon or Dr. Pahair, it depends on my financial situation. I think the risk of PE is not high at Korea hospital with advanced devices, but at Mumai, although our senior members said the hospital is fine and PT/Docs are skiLL Forumul, to be honest, I am lack of confidence about the infrastructure there.

Hey mate, your name is so coooooool, like a terminator or something. The experience you shared is helpful. But I am not familiar with precice 1, it is similar to precice 2? without an exterior frame? BTW, do you have any idea about permanent pain around the knee, sounds like it could happen if you use Stryde for Tibia. Which one do you prefer, Lon or Stryde. Thanks!
