Title: Can someone explain the whole process of LL?
Post by: LittleWhiteMan on September 04, 2014, 07:17:55 PM

Hello everyone, I would like to know just how the whole process starts.

What mechanisms are used for the LL?
Exercises you must do, where are the LL nails places at? When and how do we rotate them? Bone infections and treatment, how does the skin and nerves regenerate? Etc, etc.

littlewhiteman.

all this information is on the site. you are recommended to read it.

I am only posting here to make a suggestion.
we should have an FAQ on the basics for newbs. this would allow easy access to the basics.

some of those things on that FAQ are outdated.

don't exceed 7.5cm per segment (if only doing 1 surgery).

and its not recommended to do more than 12cm (6cm tibia, 6 cm femur) if you are doing 2 segments.

this is a guide only. read for yourself and make your own decisions.
