Considering fitbone-- what have you heard?
« on: January 15, 2025, 11:24:51 PM »
Looks like p2.2 production is delayed due to license registration problems, or something.

There's no info on when they'll be back online.

As such, I'm considering going with the new fitbone (Birkholtz). I know we've heard some problems about it before-- I'd love to hear more details if you've got them.

Thank you!

In theory, Fitbone and Precice should both be pretty comparable. The major difference is that one uses magnets and the other uses electrical currents to drive the lengthening. However, in practice, there's simply been way more limb lengthenings done use Precice than Fitbone. It's well understood and battle tested.
