Is external monorail cheaper than LON/LATN.. Is it safe using using external monorail for femur and tibia lengthening 4cm/5cm.. a total of 9cm

The word around monorail is that you go to Serbia to have it done, then go to another country to fix your misalignment later. Cheapest method becomes more expensive in the long run.

In my opinion, the safest from top down:

Internal Femurs
Internal Tibias
External Tibias
External Femurs

For the best price/safety route, I recommend internal femurs and LON/LATN tibias.

I have been reading about all kind of LL methods and that's what I think too..

I think monorails are bad if you want to lengthen a big amount, more than 3-4 cm. To be on the safe side you might want to try LON/LATN but then you have to take in account a possible knee pain.

What if I use monorails to gain 6 cm in my femur.. *sorry for my English*.. from what I have read through varies websites, monorails cannot bear too much weight but still the best external method for femur lengthening..
best way to get the best out of monorail femur lengthening is..
1. not to put too much weight during the lengthening period.. after you are done are with your lengthening don't remove monorails right away..
2. do not lengthen your femur more than 5-6 cms..
3. after monorails removal get nails/plate fixation.. for extra support..
4. you need flexible and strong hip muscles.. do a lot of stretching for that... (the more flexible your legs are the easier the procedures go..)
