Your doctor will be able to tell if it is the right time to dynamize the frames (loosening the struts), but according to your x-ray your callus is not ready yet.
Quote from: Great321 on June 27, 2019, 06:09:05 PMWhat do you mean by dynamizing the frames? Is there a medical term for that? I'll talk with my Dr. tomorrow noon.
right now the tension in the rod is bearing your weight.
Dynamization is when you loosen your supporting struts and walk for some time and again retighten it so that you remove the tension from the struts and move it to your bone. that way the bone bears the weight henceforth

true, your doc would decide if you can dynamize
I had thought about doing LATN. But I will give it more time now.

I have just realized that I can also start University in April 2020 instead of October. 9 months from now must be enough I hope to consolidate...
I guess I will wait.

Thanks for the advice. Once my consolidation has progressed Dr. G will probably talk about dynamization. Zakika also did loosen the strut in the end I remember.
I had talked to Dr. Giotikas.
He gave me a few options.
I can shorten for 3-4 mm. BUT I'd rather not do that. Because the more length, the more worth this surgery is. I don't want to have waited for a year for only 4,3cm or sth.
Or I can do LATN.
OR I can wait. Probably 4 months +
I get testosterone from my doctor for medical reasons. Dr. Giotikas told me to ask my doctor if the dosage can be increased by a bit since testosterone seems to have a good impact on bone growth.

How about BMACS?
This bone marrow treatment works great for delayed consolidation in Korea
One thing guys is a lack of consolidation due to the patient's own regenerative abilities or is it due to poor post op treatment?
