- hard to sleep with frames
- 2 or more surgeries to add then remove frame and they might have to add/remove a pin in b/w.

Precice:

Pretty much this, for internal you probably have to go months on a wheelchair, which is not helpful for mental health.

I would say if you are young, i would recommend precise. The pain you have to endure with LON is way more then precise. I got LON and first 2 weeks was like in hell. I wish i had done precise .
