so after lengthening , the frame is taken off and you can go home for consolidation ?

do you still taking pain killers and blood thinners?

Reaching the fifth month was a milestone! I began The first steps without crutches were exhilarating but painful.

Month 6-10: Gaining Independence
Gradual improvement in walking pattern and endurance marked these months. Regular physiotherapy and exercises strengthened my legs. By the tenth month, I was walking more naturally, although still with external fixators.

Month 10-11
I was finally able to get my externals removed

until today, i feel normal, its amazing to see the world from a different height, i only told my girlfriend and parents about lengthening, some friends have noticed and i just brushed it off, am thinking of going back and doing femurs. with femurs i would be able to take externals off in 4 months and just have internal nail inside, but for tibias it wasnt recommended, dr salameh focused more on deformities than CLL, but i met 2 other patients when i was there,


why is tibia switching to internal nail is not recommended ?
