Can someone find out if Dr Parihar does only retrogade on femur (through the knee)?

Were you given a DVT pump after surgery?

Regarding the anticoagulation medication, the doctor said I won’t need it because we are already doing strengthening exercises, which are considered sufficient to help prevent blood clots. So, according to him, anticoagulation medications are not necessary at this stage.

Regarding the retrograde insertion of the nail, there was an instructor from Orthofix present for the initial 3 surgeries. That instructor had more experience with retrograde nail insertion, and Dr. Parihar is also more experienced with the retrograde approach. Because of that, for the first 10–12 Fitbone surgeries, Dr. Parihar plans to use retrograde insertion. Later, once he gains more experience with Fitbone, he may start doing antegrade insertion if needed.

Thanks for asking. It is still crazy that he doesnt do blood thinners. That is like playing with randomness, russian roulette. Giotikas has a death even after he prescribed blood thinners for a few weeks and with a weight bearing nail that allows walking

Parihar also quoted "KiloKahn"s exact response regarding the retrograde insertion of nail.

Yeah, it is unusual to not provide any blood thinners. I don't know of any other doctor who doesn't provide any.

I am at 77mm rn, about to reach it,

I am good, not having any pain or anything,

My flexion is 120, I am able to extend my knee.

What will happen once fitbone nail reaches its maximum Length, will the motor still make sound or it stops?

Hey man, it's been a while. You have covered a bit more than half of your journey. Just wanted to ask what's your daily lengthening rate/limit?
