Hey mods! Please delete this if you need to, I thought it was a good question but maybe it is redundant.
Let's say you want to do internal tibia and femur back to back with a month of each other or something in between w/ Precise 2.2 such as with Giotikas. To decrease risk, you want to lengthen less at first. And then you want to break your tibia or femur again later to get the last cm or so on the device so you have 6 cm on tibia and 7 cm on femur in total.
1. What is the safest split to do this? 6 cm tibia/5cm femur first and then rebreak for the last two cms on femur later? 4 cm tibia/7 cm femur first and then the last 2cm on tibia later? Something else?
2. If you do a rebreak strategy like this, what is the recommended time to wait between recovering and doing the rebreak?
3. If you want to do a rebreak, what are your best options price and safety wise if you are an American? Ex: is it cheaper/better to do a rebreak close to home in an American city (maybe like a 5 hour drive from my home) or is it cheaper to fly to India to do it with Parihar? Does he do rebreaks? Would you need to stay in India the whole time for the rebreak?
4. Is this rebreak strategy actually safer than just doing 6 cm tibia and 7 cm femur back to back?

ty HobbitMan!!!
So my concern is that I heard that doing tibia and femur back to back is dangerous. Giotikas allows patients to do them w/ like 3 weeks in between or something, not sure
Is doing 6 cm tibia and then 3 weeks later doing 7 cm femur right after dangerous?
Is it significantly safer to do 6 cm tibia, wait 3 weeks, then do 4 cm femur right after?
What would you do?
