Hi,

You could help me make a decision. I'm Brazilian and here in my country only LON is available in the femur now, in 2022 it seems that nail fitbone will arrive. I don't have a lot of financial resources but if I save and take out a loan I will be able to make the femur in October 2022 with Giotikas for Precice. What would you advise me to do LON here in Brazil (currently I have money to do it) or add more money and make the femur next year with Giotikas or even fitbone here in Brazil?

Thank you friends

just adding. I'm a 5'0 "(153cm) man. So I need the surgery as soon as possible.

I am not sure about your doc experience with LL if he is a good doc then go for LON else giotikas.

if it is to do LON, better do it here in Brazil. But something tells me that LON in the femur is not going to be easy.

LON tibias in Brazil

I would like to make the femur, because I can get more height.

External femurs is not recommended by most good doctors. Some do, but I personally don't want to take a chance with something which not all LL doctors agree on. It's already a risky procedure.

My opinion may be controversial, but I would say it is best to save up a bit more and do it without taking a loan.

This would allow you to keep the loan as an option if something goes wrong and another surgery is needed. If you use the loan for the surgery itself, what will you do if there are complications?

you're right

Hi Increase

Why not consider LON Tibia? It seems the results are just few cm difference between the femur and Tibia on average and with less complications. Then recover, start your new life, potentially earn more and if you still desire do femurs. I know the desire to become taller but do not rush, friendly advice.

true friend. I think I will consider LON tibiae

Hi,

Returning to that topic. The opportunity arose to do the surgery by ISKD. What do ISKD on the femur recommend for 7 cm or LON tibia 6 cm?

Serilium · « **Reply #12 on:** April 23, 2021, 04:55:14 PM »

ISKD is an outdated runaway mechanical nail that has no rate control and is banned in most places in the world. If you want non-union then use ISKD. One of the worst nails in history. Most places stopped using it like a decade ago.

Do LON tibia 6cm for sure

Cara, então

É minha opinião, eu também queria fazer no Brasil parece ser bem mais barato (aliás quanto está?), mas eu estou juntando para fazer fora, e se possível com o Stryde nail, mas quero fazer tibia+femur juntos pra ficar mais proporcional e dá por volta de R$ 1.000.000,00 - 1.400.000,00 tudo incluso, com hotel e etc. O que você acha? E aliás, quais são os médicos do Brasil?

increase · « **Reply #14 on:** May 04, 2021, 01:38:44 PM »

I'm talking to Richard Luzzi.
I'm thinking of making LON in tibia and femur (5 + 5) everything gives around 230k reais in dollars about 45k

Future Skycraper · « **Reply #15 on:** May 04, 2021, 05:26:33 PM »

Wow that's cheap! Will he do it with precise or stryde one day?

increase · « **Reply #16 on:** May 04, 2021, 05:54:38 PM »

stryde and precice are far from reaching brazil, unfortunately. The closest thing to come (already in 2022) is the fitbone.

god damn 5'0 i am so sorry for you. dont rush stuff if you dont wanna end up in a coffin.
take your time and pick a good doctor. if you end up crippled thats the worst thing that can happen.

Arcon · « **Reply #18 on:** May 04, 2021, 06:41:19 PM »

hi, imo 153cm is very short so you need the maximum length you can safely get. Go for femurs 7-8cm with Precise or Stryde. External in the femur is like playing with fire (too risky for infection, stiffness etc). Good luck.

I have a sugestion, when opening a new thread, avoid "can you help me". Try to use more descriptive words.

For example, this tittle is much better: "I'm from Brazil, interested in Giotikas with Precice, or LON or fitbone in Brazil, can you help me".

It helps people to read the forum.

Future Skycraper · « **Reply #20 on:** May 05, 2021, 01:58:43 AM »

I will do it only at 2030, so I wish it arrives here near 2025-2028

We have in Brazil: LON, LATN, + other externals.
We also have: ISKD and Precice 2. I'm scheduled to do Precice 2 here in são paulo in September

Fitbone coming to Brazil in 2022? Do you have a source for that?

Benkki · « **Reply #24 on:** April 10, 2023, 03:40:47 AM »

That's very nice, can you, please, help me telling who's the doctor doing precice 2 in São Paulo? And also how much you paid?

ballsackoffury123 · « **Reply #25 on:** April 12, 2023, 07:44:34 AM »

Definitely not LON femur. Complication is too high. There is a reason not a single US doctor even offers it. They know they will be sued up the ass with 1 bad case.

Sorcerer · « **Reply #26 on:** April 12, 2023, 08:24:50 AM »

LON femur is feasible but not recommended. And, for 5'0, you must do femur + tibia and reach the maximum amount of lengthening, otherwise you will be still very short. I am 163cm myself so I guarantee I am throwing the best suggestion.
