Is LON on tibias a very massive procedure? I mean is the duration too much ?

It's currently my 13th day after tibia lengthening, while having completed 6.5cm on femur one month ago
Based on my experience, my best day at tibia is worse than my worst day at femur
While there's only 3 muscle groups in tibia, you're breaking 2 bones each leg, wearing shoes to prevent ballerina feet. The pain for femur is nothing compare to tibia

But you did internal femurs? Becuase LON femurs is way more painful than LON tibia

It is strange, everyone says that LON on TIBIAS is a party compared to LON on femurs. Even many surgeons do not dare to perform femurs with LON because it is unethical as far as a cosmetic procedure is concerned, (it is too painful).

LON on femurs is a nightmare and will drive u to Inferno.

Due to the gravity,your femurs must withstand the mass of fixators and u shall imagine how delitating the procedure will be.

Also if u choose LON on femurs it will a lasting torture rather than LON on tibias cuz femurs demands more time to recover.
