Quote from: Body Builder on June 22, 2017, 09:47:37 PMIn Europe the doctors that we have patient's diaries here uses albizzia, precise 2 and fitbone.
In usa doctors uses precise 2.
So if iskd was an equivalent nail to all these I believe that many of the best doctors would use it too but as I see they are not using it nowadays and there must be a reason for that.
And as I read from the doctor you gave a link, it lengthens up to 5cm so many of us wouldn't use it just for that as this amount is not edaquate for the majority of LL'ers.

So I don't know if it is as reliable as other nails (especially precise 2) but if it gives only 5cm, then it is not suitable for many LL'ers.

So it gives up to 8cm.

But compared to precise 2 and fitbone which are the benefits of iskd?
Maybe the price as precise 2 especially is very expensive. Is there anything else?

Im not a doc but form what i have read Precise and fitbone are better but also more expensive. If you're on a budget and want to do internal femurs this could be an option. Also the old ISKD is stronger than precise 1.

ISKD costs the same as precice or fitbone, Pili uses or used ISKD, also with ISKD you decide how Many cm you want to lengthen before distraction starts, but if you can buy precice with a good doc like South doc or Indian doc is absurd going all over the world for ISKD for 5k less, which is not for the Nails if not for the doc.

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.

Edit Post

Yes, 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.

Thanks to you, Bluebarbie has a diary about LATN femurs, I know you want tibias but could be a good thing to read.

Edit Post

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.

Ok, if you have precice available would be the best option
