Hi, i was acceped to take part in clinical trial of limb lengthening in Poland. Company is called orthoget and its some sort of internal nail. I am however not an ideal patient but doctor told me because of lack of ideal candidates he would performance surgery on me. The problem is with my femurs. For one they are slightly bowed and second my Channel inside bone is 14,2mm, /11,1 mm and the nail requires 12 mm. Is widening the Channel inside the bone to fit the nail a very bad idea? I really need to know!

They are manufactured by two suppliers – NuVasive® (USA) producing the Precice® nail, which is available in Poland, and Phenix Medical® (France) producing the Phenix® implant.

Hi update. Lenghtening device was not working properly and legs consolidated, others had simmilar issues but some managed to lenghten using new device, im now waiting for date of new surgery to recut bone and check if nails are working properly if not they will be changed too. Theres susspicion with me specifically they might be faulty as theres not much consolidation visible on xray and strong magnet should be able to pull bones apart. Its been 2,5 months and im still at starting point, Horror i know

On the bright side i could walk with crutches from next day from surgery

[Tarczer]

No they are not, if it was precice i would have bend it long time ago lol

[lucindaris]

I did register for this lol

[Tarczer]

dont worry it works now its just theres issue with some that bone consolidated i suppose, also some had worse but for me pain lvl was quite comfortable. Cant say about lenghtening phase as i never entered it lol

[Tarczer]

Where are you frome? do you plan to stay in poland for lenghtening phase? We have to do xrays every 2 weeks

I grew up in Poland, but I don't live there anymore just casually visiting my friends family from time to time. This clinic was in Kraków and I was invited to it as well. If you say it's already 2.5 months and still not in the stage i don't want to even be invited. I am thinking of doing it in Benz Institute in Germany because finally i have financial stability and a lot of stable income to do whatever I want.

somebody got infection with Betz 10 years ago and possibly died.
it's crazy to have it with this type of nail and it looked like betz didn't care
