Is any nail rod could be used for lengthening ??

so if someone broke his bone, and they inserted titanium nail rod inside his femur and tibia,,
could he ( after few months) break his bone again and use the external fixator to lengthening, while the nail rod still inside his femur/tibia?

Yes.  The nails used for LON/LATN are standard nails, not made especially for lengthening.
