Why is stryde internals in tibias not advised?

Is this just for "stryde" or for all lengthening operations?

During the operation there is a bigger risk of compartment syndrome (but the best doctors know this and they prepare well for this). On the other hand there is much less risk of fat embolism and stuff like that.

During lengthening internals are safer, as you don't have external pins, etc... and you can walk around better (if you do Stryde or the current Betzbone).

The problem seems the hole for the nail on top of tibia, resulting in permanent pain.

I would like to know about current Stryde people who’ve done tibias.

Since internals are bad for tibias apparently, this means that Illizarovs are ideal for tibias?

Anyone who have done internal nails with tibias AND not gotten knee pain like 2 years post op?
