No, Tibia Lon is actually more effective for non-union. Even though I do not possess the article at the moment, it does reduce the likelihood.

Infections at the sites of pins are quite insignificant and frequently exaggerated considering how easily they can be treated.

I have had extensive discussions with several surgeons regarding limb lengthening. Internal tibia is significantly more favorable than external tibia, although there is a risk of deep infection that is extremely difficult to treat. Osteomyelitis should not be underestimated.
