Hi. I've got my xray. 1 cm more to go. Noticed slight bendings in both nails. Seems like left leg a little bit more. Question to experienced guys. Did you hear about such cases ? What would you do? My doctor acts like it's still fine. I will use now only walker and avoid most of the stuff I did before.

How many months has it been since the surgery?
Don't force too much, the nail may break!

do you walk totally unassisted?

I walked on crutches, maybe put too much force on legs in that case. I also used swimming pool 1.30m deep to walk unassisted but this shouldn't be problem.

Thanks for the info. I've heard stryde (his nail) had plenty of cases like that. Anyway now I don't use crutches only walker to physio and wheelchair at home. I will avoid as much as possible for one month. Anyway I hope femur will be well consolidated with such angle ... Doctor wasnt helpful to calm my worries.

Three months
Your bone health is very good, use a walker for another 3 months.
be guaranteed. No risk 
Where did you get this precise surgery if you don't mind me asking, looking for possible precise surgeons for myself as well.
Who is your doctor? Bone regenerate looks very good but something is off looking in that x-ray. One leg looks longer than the other. One knee looks higher than the other. A small amount of bending iirc is no big concern. However, you've got a lot of bend in those nails, especially ur left leg. I'm not trying to add to your stress but is it a weird angle or are your legs different lengths?
I don't want to reveal details about doctor yet. Picture is made at a monitor from an angle. Knees are exactly on the same level. Both femurs lengthened the same and equal, no worries.
So in your opinion it's a lot of bend in left leg?
I dont think that degree of bending is a cause of concern, that's probably less than 3 degrees
