Hi everyone. I'm not sure which timeline is better to get the rods out. For private reasons, I can only get it done during the summer. So that's why 1.5 or 2.5 years post-op are the only options for me. I feel like 1.5 years might be too soon since last time I got my x-rays was when I was 10 months post-op and my bones weren't fully consolidated.
At the same time, say my bones are fully consolidated at the 1.5 years mark, would it be bad if I wait an extra year to get the rods out?
Thanks in advance.
