Title: Femurs too narrow for Precice - Next best option?
Post by: GrowTow on February 17, 2023, 10:10:09 PM

Been told my femurs are too narrow to do precice.

From what I know, doing external is the only other option with a specially made smaller nail.

Anyone else have any idea?

LON on femur is a big no-no.

I think LON is just not worth it in general. Infection complication risks are not worth.

But maybe you can do G-nail with Doctor Giotikas? It is also weight bearing!
