Title: Weight bearing - no wheel chair
Post by: Joe Biden on September 09, 2023, 06:24:21 AM

What doctors do limb lengthening where wheel chair is not needed?
Planning to do femur for at least 8cm!
I know Betz-Bekker in Germany and Giotikas in Greence - are there any other doctors?

Weight bearing depends on the nail being used, not the doctor. Weight bearing nails are used in LON methods and internal with Stryde nails, but NOT Precise.

I meant internal methods.
