    What physicians perform limb lengthening procedures where a wheelchair is unnecessary?
    I am considering femur lengthening for a minimum of 8cm!
    I am aware of Betz-Bekker in Germany and Giotikas in Greece – are there any other surgeons?

      Weight bearing, regarding the nail utilized, is crucial, not the physician. Nails supporting weight are applied in LON techniques and internally with Stryde nails, excluding Precise.

      I meant internal methods.
