I have 10cm buried that my body has ahold of. I suspect that IF I was to have a maleable implant that it ever becoming wobbly is slim.
Recently there is a resurgence of members, generally younger. That are facing some hard choices. Been there done that. I advise to carefully evaluate a FT members experience with his IPP. Somehow, and I don't know how to do it. You need to weigh his anatomy against yours. To make it even harder. Your anatomy is unknown.
Good luck guys. The end is worth it.
Very thoughtful...I can imagine how deep the proximal part is going to affect overrall stability...it must be a factor.
I agree too that our anatomy is unknown....measurements will not take place except in the OR after the incisions...so no need to think of it too much...all we need to know is that outcomes vary based on anatomy.
Still my best bet for the young is yo exhaust mpp first before going into ipp.
