One other advantage of G-Nail over precise after speaking to Dr Guichet yesterday. The G-Nail is essentially biologically inert - doesn't react with the body. Apparently this is not true for Precise. He said the manufacturer actually tells surgeons they should only do one Precise nail at a time because of the risk of corrosion into the system.

Correct! This is one of the reasons I chose to go with g-nail.

Have you considered Betzbone? It is the same system as G Nail. I recently met a guy in Germany who is now using Betzbone. He looked pretty good. It was very reassuring to meet someone in person and that he is doing well. He has just reached 2 cm and walks with crutches but my first impression was very positive. I will be using Betzbone in January next year.
