Cuz his prices, excessive lengthening practices, and the nail itself is irrational.

True and true! hahahha
though I don't know about the nail. I like it. I don't imagine how it would be being stuck in a wheelchair for months. At least I'm on crutches...

Why its irrational?!!

As Guichet said, the nail advantages is:

Recover walking, right after surgery
Resume sport like bike, on the same day as the surgery
Stop pain killers up to two weeks after surgery


and don't forget full weight-baring  ;)

Because it is very painful to turn and also it is traumatic andmakes bone consolidation much slower.

Yes, it has the benefit of early weight bearing but it is not so dangerous to not walk for about 2 months (lengthening phase) like it happens with precise and fitbone. Then you can walk with these nails too, you would have a better callus formation and the lengthening would have been less painful.

So I don't believe that weightbearing (not complete but with crutches) 2 months sooner is so important as the drawbacks of guichetnail.
And if we consider the huge amoumts that Guichet charges, his unfriendly character and the mamy mediocre (for his price and experience) outcomes, Guichet is not a good choice for me.

I have no problems clicking, how do you know it makes the bone consolidation slower? Through what mechanism? I am finishing my lengthening in less than 1 month, I am in crutches and I don't know how people can bear being stuck in a wheelchair with no mobility for so long. It's very demanding even on crutches.
Although your other points are good.
