Hi Rei,

Thinking this over a bit. If you have a very smooth 5cm lengthening, you might get that 6 month recovery with no issue.  Never know; but always a chance.  Are you planning on going through with the surgery soon?

If your consolidation is super slow and you do pure ilizarov not LON nor LATN
It can take like 10 months or even more than that to walk without crutches
Besides if you get severa contracture, it can take even more than a few years
In very unfortunate case, cartridge was destroyed and never be able to walk without crutches
In case of MM, she is still on wheelchair after so many reop like more than 16 reoperations(however she did internal with one of worst doctors, most pure ilizarov doctors don’t seem very good either)

Considering high risks, I would recommend you to do Stryde rather than externals if your priority is time

1.5-2 months per centimeter

What is cartridge?

Also, can slow consolidation and contracture not also happen with internals?

Sorry autocorrected wrong
Cartilage

Risk is depends on doctors not methods
Right now doctors providing Stryde are safer choices than others

How exactly was cartilage "detroyed" in a case of external LL, what exactly happened and which case was it?

I’m going to talk with Dr. Pili at the end of April, if he says i can get away with atleast 5cm on tibias, probably i will take the surgery this winter
