This is situation. The manufacturer sells bad nails and the patients have to suffer the consequences: more surgeries, more pain, more recovery time, permanent sequels. The failure was due to bad functioning of this expensive product. The doctor doesn't want the patients to sue the manufacturer because his business would be off. The doctor sides with the manufacturer instead of patients. Would you support such a doctor? The doctor's priority shouldn't be business but patients' wellbeing but this LL doctor is a greedy moneymaker s most LL doctors. imo patients should take care of themselves and not worry about the business of a person who doesn't care about them.
Hmm yet another Dr. Monegal thread. I wouldn't go to Monegal mostly because of what all you have said and I do believe he is incompetent somewhat and the nail seems to have a lot of problems. But what is with this obsession man? Did he wrong you personally or something? Just focus on getting your surgery.
This guy isnt banned yet? No wonder this forum look like a circus now a days.
Not going into Dr.Monegal competence or incompetence, this guy should be banned as it is a clone account off a banned account.
Also, This guy praised Guichet even after he got that female patient the exact same complication of Musicmaker and went to reccomend him and other docs even though he has no idea on any doc.
I believe that if a patients has to sue someone this is fitbone's company, not the doctor because it is not his fault.
But if this nail keeps having a high complication rate, then I think that any doctor who is considered respectable should stop using it.
I think that in terms of reliability precise 2.2 is surely better.
I haven't seen this nail failing in any diary while fitbone failed in about 1/3 diaries.
Of course this rate can be general but even if 1/10 of fitbones fails it is still too much and the company must do something asap to fix that problem.
It is obvious that 0,1 % failure rate that the company mentions (I think that I read it in Helloworld's diary) can't be real when we have so many failures in the diaries here.
Of course there isn't a perfect nail but fitbone (like precise) isn't perfect mainly because it is now weight bearing.
But that doesn't mean that it is normal to have low reliability. This is unacceptable for any modern nail.

Can you give more details about these corrections?
Edit: Not asking for something personal, just an overview of what these complications are. Thanks.

I want to know this too.
Quote from: musicmaker on April 04, 2017, 12:21:24 AMTake into account that Precise has also failed in some cases, like in Penguinn's.
As Dr Monegal says, the perfect implant doesnt' exist. Each doctor must choose the nail which he deems the best among those available in the market by taking into account his own experience, the existent literature, and the company history records.
Dr Monegal uses Fitbone because the system allows not only lengthening but also bone transport in cases of massive loses of bone (Precise is trying to copy this at this moment). Moreover, the Wittenstein company's policy is smarter than Precise's. While Precise's approach is more of a commercial kind and allows undiscriminate surgeons to use its nails, Fitbone creates centers and educates its surgeons so that patients have the best possible results.
You defend mongeal way too much and on points that are not true. Precise may have had some failures but it is still a far more superior nail to fitbone and as bodybuilder said a doc that sees a lot of these failures should stop using the device. Your worshiping of mongeal is like that other patient that said that mongeal was better than paley or rozbruch.
LLUser1 started coming here like 3 years ago. Crazy thing is.. 3 years later, he is still short and angry.
