LON Inner nail removal
« on: May 26, 2024, 11:30:23 PM »
Hey All,

After the lengenthing is done and the external fixator removal are off. When do you actually remove the inner nail. I know that you only remove it after the bone is healed and come together. But how long normally that takes. And do you recommend going to the same doctor who installed them? Or it can be removed in your town by another doctor?

Let me know your thoughts, experience and the cost of the removal.

Thanks for your input in advance
