Title: Has anyone done tibia and femurs back to back?
Post by: Rush on October 28, 2017, 11:02:00 PM

After bitching out 2 years ago, I decided that I am really considering LL. I also am able to pay much more than before.

Is there anybody who has done tibias and then femurs back to back? If so, how long after the first surgery were you able to perform the second surgery?

I am considering doing 5.5cm external tibias then 7.5cm internal femurs with Precice 2. I plan on staying in the country of the first operation for the full duration, that way I can see the doc in case anything comes up. Anything wrong with this plan?

If you’re going internal with femurs, I’m guessing you’ll be fine. I’m currently doing LON tibia and had planned to do external femur immediately after. Then I had the tibia surgery with all the pain involved and immediately changed my mind about external femurs. If I could afford internals like you, I would do it.
