I don't believe he actually said "patients jumping 2-3 days after lengthening".
This is the sort of crap you should really be careful of when someone, especially a doctor, tells you.
And, to the best of my knowledge, (I might be wrong), there is no rate control, which is why patients like Unicorn888 had accidental clicks, which went all the way upto 10 cm, and now she doesn't know what to do with the 10 cm gap because she has non-union.
I've always been fearful of doctors who "sell" this surgery to you by saying things like jumping after lengthening, 8 days per cm and stuff like that. People should know that there is nothing to joke about with regards to LL. It is a serious, life changing surgery, in both a good way (it can make you happy) and a negative way too (your legs will never be as strong again).
What exactly does Guichet Pre-Op training entail?

You have reverse mechanism with precice 2 why would you want to run after you go out of the operation? That is the only advantage, that you can be mobile, but you are in risk of non-unions
Quote from: LLSouthAmerica on September 27, 2017, 05:34:14 AMI don't understand why you want to compare specifically with Dr Paley.
Because Paley and Guichet seem to be the safest and most reputable doctors.
Quote from: LLSouthAmerica on September 27, 2017, 05:34:14 AMWhat Dr. Guichet fails to mention is the backwards function of the Precise nail, and the pain during clicking with the albizzia which can go as far as requiring general anesthesia.
The Guichet nail is the next generation of Albizzia. How has the pain level improved?

Because being mobile means your muscles atrophy less, so you recover faster and better.

Lets be honest, during the lengthening, if you use betzbone or Guitchet nail, you Will be more mobile than with precice but not that much, you have to be very careful becuase you can fracture the implant, so I think It is more important ti have the security that if your bone formation is bad you can correct It. I once read that if you are in external fixators for a long time, you can suffer athropy, although you are very mobile with them.
