Hathaway But LiveLifeTaller says otherwise and that nothing bad will happen (sarcasm lol). If you believe anything that these turkish clown clinics says, your're a clown yourself...

So the more you lengthen close to the 8 cm maximum, the weaker the nail becomes. That being said, it is important to wait for full consolidation before walking fully weight-bearing.
Totally right. Precice breaks 99% of the time from its lengthening mechanism inside the rod. So people has to be very careful because a slight wrong step or movement may cause it to break obviously.
For example, in this paper, four of 24 PRECICEs were broken, with diameters of either 8.5 or 10.7 mm.

Thus, if a patient follows a weight-loading strategy such as LLT, then 12.5mm nails should be used.
However, there is still a risk of nail breakage, and if I were to undergo the PRECICE procedure, I would not apply full weight bearing to the nail.
