I was actually curious about "frames only" and asked Livelifetaller why not even they offer it and their reply was shortly: big physio problem when you do stretching, infection problems and the worst thing is that you could develop a bone deformity easily, that was the main reason they had to cancel this method. So it seems like this method is so bad even butchers resent it. If you thnk about it, you will be having constant pain for 9+ months.
You literally went to ask people that have no idea about deformity cases and devices. As I know, the external fixator they use is extremely dangerous and you gonna ended up with a deformity at the end rather than the TSF device that is supposed to fix the most deformity cases.
As for LON/LATN, you ended up doing two surgeries on the same bone which isn't fun to me. Also, it has some complications later, especially on the knee which I'm suffering from already.
As a final note, those people that you went to ask do that external fixator (with LON) just because it's easier than putting a TSF fixator which top doctors use and it's very complex to deal with but it's so accurate to fix any deformity.
I wish I was wrong.
