Bones consolidate quicker when you walk on them. Walking and putting weight on your legs promotes healing. Latn, Lon, or stryde pretty much would all be good ideas. Never do fully externals.

I don't think that bone consolidation is better with nails or externals. It depends on each person. But if bone growth isn't good enough with externals, the LATN nail can help to enhance bone growth because of the reaming(?) of the bone marrow.
Last night I couldn't sleep until 3pm because I was excited by the thought of getting rid of my frames. It's a great relief. And I hope that it can be done as soon as possible.

Full externals are much less invasive though. There is no risk of permanent knee pain with them and also no risk of runaway nail.
In two weeks I'll finally get rid of the frames through LATN surgery. 
The last few days were rough because for the first time since the surgery both of my legs had problems at the same time. On the right the knee problem. On the left the muscle problem. Walking is very difficult to the point that I'm sweating (not because of the weather). I just hope that it gets better when the frames are off.
Hey Great321
Will you be doing the LATN surgery with Dr. Giotikas in Athens in 2 weeks?

Yes I will do it with Dr. Giotikas in Athens
That will be awesome. I’ll at the Theseus Centre for PT during that time. Not sure if I’ll run into you. Will you be staying in Athens after surgery or will you be flying home?
Nice, which surgery method did you choose? I will probably not visit the PT center this time. But I have to stay in Athens for two weeks. My apartment will be more in the center of Athens. Last time I stayed in the Alimos area.
Stryde on my femurs. I’ll probably start a dairy but will discuss it with Dr. G first. If I do it will be Dr. G first Stryde dairy.
That would be interesting to read! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
