Dear Users
Of Course You are not Lluser.
As To clarify with The implant subject:
In my experience I had no case of implant failure until The case You refer To. The only thing I explained To my patients was The statistic given To me by The manufacturer (12 failures in more than 2000 Fitbone 4 Implants).
About implant choice:
I have explained several times The perfect implant does not exist. There are things about Precice I prefer from The Fitbone, and things from The Fitbone I prefer from The precice. In my opinion I prefer The Fitbone because It s not just a nail, we have bone transport nail (not available with precice) and we can adapt The system To a prosthesis (in case of bone tumour).
I have been offered To use Precice (They offered me 10% profit) and I refused. WITTENSTEIN surgeons do not get any profit prom The companys.
On top of that, I have no experience with precice and You can read in Acta Ortopedica about The reliability of Precice.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4062798/About G nail It s based On Albizzia Nail. This Is way back in The implant evolution When compared with Fitbone OR Precice. Guichet Is an outstanding surgeon and he Is confident with his system. I think that at The end The system Should be a surgeon's choice based On their experience and How confident They feel about It.
About weigthbearing:
Problem with load Is that all The weigth relies in The locking screws during The first 8-10 weeks of distraction. This can cause screw loosening Or bending. I have seen tests On fitbones done with 200kg load and Implant was working after that. The screw issue Is for ANY internal implant.
Lluser said a lot of things. More than 300 posts..even saying one of The patients in The guesthouse died because of femur fracture. The other guy posted pictures of amputated People. You can defend that, But in my opinion This Should never be published in The forum because It s not true and shows a lack of respect and credibility from The user and from The forum ítself.
Cheers
