Diares are confusing n close to no one asks or displays nails size with stryde since is a close to irrelevant topic for many so I thought it would have been smarter to ask here but ig not lol
I got n info fron a surgeon but it's not official so that is why I was asking about nail sizing but I will just go in LL experience n will scroll trought diares ig as u suggested .
Do u know btw what kind of xrays or check one needs to have to figure out its femur lenght and intramedullary canal size ?
Some of the diaries include the nail size used, but it's a detailed piece of info that the author is not obliged to state, nor is it likely it will be provided.
For X-rays and bone measurements, you cannot just go to a local X-ray clinic. First, you need a doctor's order for X-rays. Second, their X-ray machines have much smaller cartridges, typically 17 inches at most. That will not cover a femur in one X-ray unless you are very short. Third, they are very unlikely to have advanced software with markers on a CD to accurately measure the bone dimensions.
You need an advanced X-ray machine in an advanced orthopedic department of a large hospital or leg lengthening clinic. They have X-ray machines with 51 inch cartridges for the entire legs and pelvis, and markers to measure to the millimeter on a computer program.
