Hi everyone, this is my first post on this forum, and I apologize in advance if I accidentally don't follow certain posting rules.
I just want to ask if anyone knows what the weight bearing capacity will be for the new Precise 4 nail that will be released either near the end of 2023 or early 2024? Will it be the same as Stryde(aka. 113kg, or 250lb)?
I plan to do my procedure in 2024 using the new internal nail. Between Dr. Mahboubian and Dr. Debiparshad who should I take? Considering these following factors:
1. I want to do tibia first then femur, ideally don't do femur until I am already into the consolidation phase for tibia. I am especially hoping to get a full 7cm gain on my tibia because my current tibia lengthen is particular short for my current height, and I have always wanted a longer tibia.
2. Plan to live close by my choice of institute for limb lengthening throughout the entire distraction&consolidation phases, so safety of the area and selection&quality of physical therapy sites are extremely important.
On a side note, I am wondering why Dr. M charges so much more than Dr. D? It's insane to see the price difference.
Much appreciated for anyone who shares their useful opinions and input!
