I've been informed some patients got nerve damage after surgery (numbness, extreme pain, reduced mobility, spasmodic movements). Wonder if this could be prevented by a good surgical ability because they asked me for legal advice

Where those patients completely done with LL (5+ years) or recovering ones? Nerves take a long time to heal. I doubt theres a good surgical technique that completely rids of nerve damage. They should've known what their getting into anyway

Don't feed the troll, please.

Not +5 years. The oldest one had surgery 2 years ago.

Highly unlikely that a good surgeon cuts nerve during the implant insertion, plus the patient would know that right after surgery. don't you think?
More likely that nerve damage happened from too fast distraction.
The fear of nerve damage was the main reason I slowed down to 0.7 mm distraction per day, just to be on the save side.

Some patients got numbness in OR after surgery because they nerves were damaged. They still have numbness problems after years. Other patients had numbness when distracting. Those reported their numbness went away
