LON (lengthening over nail, rod inside + externals) is still internal, did you meant pure externals?

I would consider LON tibias hybird. U still have to go 3 months or more on fixators on LON.

On a scale of 1 to 10, probably a negative 6.

Haha, based answer

@Jason
And yea LON hurts more than internal tibias, so a negative answer is the only correct answer. LON is internal tibias + annoying wires through your skin  ;D

So by that you mean pure internal tibias is more than 50% less painful than LON tibias?

That sounds about right.  The frames cause a lot of pain.
