Ontario has a population of 14 million people, which would mean about 7 million men. The majority of patients would likely come from the Golden Horseshoe (area around Toronto which extends from Oshawa to Niagara Falls), which is about 8 million/4 million men. All numbers approximate.

Whitedogo, You are questioning which implant is best. What is your pre surgery length? My hi volume dr said he liked LGX up to 6 inch. And Titan for 7 and longer. AMS LGX stores away nicely. Titan material get folds in it when empty. My lgx at 6.5 inch is hard as a steel spike if I want it that hard.
82, good health, RP 7-2017, all nerves taken , PSA 0.05, 4-18,, .07 1/19,.05 4/19, .03 11-21, .04 11-23, implanted 4-1-18, Infra-pubic, AMS lgx 15 cm with 5cm rte. Implant at USC Keck. Dr Boyd and Dr Loh Doyle 6.5 x 5, 800 AUS 7-21-20

Thanks to answer oldbeek.
I’m actually 7+ inch now. 7 inch stretching flaccid and 7,5 inches with quadmix injection.
Just wonder because I have surgery date for next month. And the dr I choose here preferred LGX but he didn’t see me yet. I’m going to meet him in persone next Friday. I already asked for titan. And he told me he as no problem to do one or the other. But for him is more reliability the LGX. And reading here FT…I see more titan is chosen by all high volume implanter.

Thanks
