I'm not good at English, so I'm sorry if it is difficult for you to understand my English.

I am considering  internal method of tibia in Japan.

ISKD is only one internal method in Japan.

However, ISKD was recalled in 2012.

Was ISKD improved after recall of 2012?

Hello, onemorefoot. Thank you for your reply.

I want to lengthen tibia from an aesthetic point of view.

Sorry, 'fixed' means ’staying the same’?

Quote from: onemorefoot on June 22, 2017, 03:18:19 PMThe problems of the nail were fixed, is not the same as 5 years ago.

I would like to know about the details of update.

Did the frequency of complications(runaway nail,premature consolidation,bending) decrease?

I want to choose LON if there are many complications of ISKD now.

Thank you for many replies.

I want to be operated with PRECISE2 in Korea, but I cannot rest work for a long term.

In addition, I worry about deep infection about LON (monorail + IM nail).

I don't like LATN because of Ilizarov external device.

Can I be operated with monorail fixator in LATN?   I worry about axis deviation.

At present, my first choice is ISKD. My goal is tibia 5cm.

Quote from: onemorefoot on June 24, 2017, 04:46:01 AMYes, LATN can be done with a monorial fixator, if you get a misalignment, doctor can correct It in the nailing surgery, that is the advantage of LATN over LON,  can I know your doc in Japan?

Thank you,onemorefoot.

I would like to consult with Doctor about LATN surgery(monorail).

My surgeon is Dr.Ito in Japan.

Unfortunately,my doc said that it is difficult to correct misalignment in LATN (monorail) surgery because of insufficient operation equipment.

But he is considering the import of PRECICE.

I may undergo surgery with PRECISE. If impossible, I will select ISKD.
