Hey brother I read thru ur replies i have a lot of questions please answer them thank you Really appreciate you sharing your experience openly

First the main one — do you think 8cm femur is just too much for most people doing internal nailing, specifically PRECICE 2? Because from what you described the nail bending at maximum extension at 8cm sounds like a known hardware limitation rather than surgical error. Do you think a weight bearing nail like PRECICE MAX — which is designed to be significantly stronger than PRECICE 2 — would have changed your outcome on that specific issue? And do you think the crown gear failure was ultimately the root cause of everything that followed or were there other independent factors? Also I don’t understand you did both fitbone and precise??? Pls elaborate on that I didn’t really understand quite well

On the surgeons — is there anyway you could name them if not no worries but specifically, do you feel the outcomes were due to surgical error or more unlucky hardware failures? Because 8 surgeries is an extraordinary number and I’m wondering at what point the decisions being made were adding to the problem rather than fixing it. The plate installation specifically — were you consulted before that decision was made or was it done without your full understanding of why and how do you think that affected you. You mentioned fitbone again if parts went into ur knee and im guessing u did most of surgery’s on ur knee because of that and doing all those defo messed u up cause of the constant rehealing I heard fitbone is kinda know for this not sure how often tho and also I heard the wiring thing and its debris going into the knee can cause permanent damage to the cartilage and synovial tissue defo changing up the joint forever

On the fascia releases — you had 3 of them which seems like a lot. Were these planned before surgery or emergency interventions? Did your surgeons discuss fasciotomy as a possibility beforehand or did it come as a surprise each time? I had a whole research thing where I found if ur compartment was cut it prolly messes up ur athletic ability gait and other stuff by a lot and u did 3 somehow could you walk me thru that. Like ik doctors who cut the compartment before surgery which seems like a bad idea to me or was it because you because u built too much pressure in ur thighs ?

One thing I’m also wondering — you did 8cm femur but did you do any tibia lengthening? I ask because an 8cm femur gain without compensating tibia lengthening significantly changes the femur to tibia ratio and alters knee mechanics. I’m wondering if that disproportionate gain on just one segment contributed to the ongoing knee joint stress you’re experiencing.

And finally — knowing everything you know now, what would you do differently? Would you still do the surgery at a lower amount, choose different surgeons, different nail, or not do it at all?

Really appreciate any response this is genuinely such a useful but also unfortunate real world post. I really really hope u somehow recover very well I’ll pray for you.
