Tibial Lengthening with Flat Feet?

Edit Post

Hello fellow LLers,

I really want to undergo tibial lengthening with the Precice Stryde nail but I am now concerned that my extremely flat feet could render me ineligible for that procedure.  Has anyone here with flat feet lengthened their tibiae?  If so, did any complications arise due to flat feet?  I can’t find any information on this but I do realize that the feet and lower legs are highly connected, as ballerina foot is among the biggest risks of tibial lengthening.

That’s a relief to read!  Hopefully the Stryde is back soon—I’m hoping to do this after I lose a few pounds (fat embolism) and improve calf/Achilles flexibility!
