3cm consolidation time

Edit Post

Hi folks

I did 3 cms in my tibias was wondering how much time it would take in your opinion to consolidate with the external frames

Hi guys

First of all i stopped at 3cm as i was not happy with the rom i was losing in my ankles.

My foctor said my bone growth is superb and ive been consolidating now for 2-3 weeks id guess. I flew home yeaterday with frames on i need to find a UK doctor to give me x rays and il need to find an orthopaedic surgeon who will remove the frames when the time comes which i hope will be soon.

Im hoping that in 6 weeks or so i can get this contraption off my legs and slowly start learning to walk again

Tibia is always take a longer time to recover such as externals in general. i think you should have done 0.65-0.75 mm per day better than 1 mm. Anyways 3 cm is a very realistic goal, especially for tibia, even if you did it with a butcher am sure you gonna be fine with 3 cm. About the time i think its will take from 4-8 months for fully fused and jogging (not sure though)

My bone growth was so good that i was told to up it from 0.66mm to 1mm each day i only did that for around one week though.

Ok my dr in China told me two months i have to come back for removal. I think it is because my bone growth is so good so im not sure if thats why i was told two months would be long enough
