The two primary choices for quadrilateral are either LON tibia + Precice femur, or x2 Precice.

Precice x2 can yield a maximum of 14cm (8 femur + 6 tibia).

LON tibia + Precice femur would still essentially offer a maximum of 14cm, as exceeding 6cm on the tibia with LON could lead to ballerina syndrome.

It is important to note that LON femur + Precice tibia is not a usual combination for quadrilateral. However, if pursued, a theoretical increase of 16cm could be achieved, given that LON can provide up to 2 extra cm on the femur compared to Precice (i.e., 10 femur + 6 tibia).

I have inquired about why LON femur + Precice tibia is uncommon. It seems this is related to the stability of LON tibia + the discomfort associated with LON femur procedures.

The facility I have consulted with mentioned that LON femur + Precice tibia can be performed for quadrilateral, though it is atypical.

The unconventional question is:

Would you opt for Precice x2, or the unique combination of LON femur + Precice tibia for quadrilateral.

Cost is not a concern. Additionally, I am indifferent to any additional discomfort or pain during the process. My primary apprehension regarding LON is the risk of infection. I ponder, “Is it justified to accept the heightened infection risk in exchange for potentially gaining another 2cm on the femur?”

LON Femur + Precice Tibia is not a good choice. Failure to perform exercises may result in irreversible consequences. This could explain why it is not a common option. Physical therapy is crucial for regaining mobility and preventing muscle atrophy. It is not advisable to proceed if recovery is uncertain. Quadrilateral is not widely available in many clinics. Therefore, if considering limb lengthening, it is strongly advised to avoid inexperienced practitioners to protect your legs. Prioritize safety when opting for surgery and ensure the surgeon is well-experienced. ✌🏼
