I was lengthening my femurs using precice 2.
Should I go for a rebreak now or do it after a year?

What was the distraction rate that you were following?

Initially 0.9mm per day and then 1.2mm per day.

Your rate of bone formation is faster than average, right?

Rebreak now and get it over with, rather than go through another whole recovery process. I had a similar situation, had to stop at 6 CM due to how surgeon cut bone. I thought I would go back at some point, but was never able to do it.
Rebreaking now means cutting soft regenerate callous. If you wait a year, they will have to cut solid bone. Unless your muscles are super tight I’d just do it now.

Dr. said he won't cut the callous. He'll do it somewhere else.
