guys before you speculate about stretching and weightbearing, please note that the complication is caused by knee cap misalignment. This is not solved through stretching. It is serious issue and probably caused by external frame.

I don't think so at all. Dr kulesh had proven that he cares about the patients in the first place even he can go beyond that and assist you himself so anyone will be operated with him you are in a safe hand. he is professional regarding the bone cut applying fixator and correction. what i didn't like he is not restricted regarding stretches and weight bearing. we are human that at sometimes we can feel pain and lazy so if we aren't pushed we will fall. imagine that you feel pain and tired and you find that your dr doesn't recommend walking and he buys a wheelchair for you. for sure you will develop complications.
I wasn't that lazy and that active. i was stretching and wearing the footholder for more than 12 hrs per day and i pushed myself to walk the little distance to bathroom. but i didn't walk or stood a lot. adding to that the most tightness i felt was after the correction phase which last 3 days ( I was manpulating the bones using hex bods ) 6 rods to form hexagonal around the frame and are turned according to predefined turns by a computer. so this add alot of tightness to me.
my current situation 5 month after the operation (pure external tibias - 4cms) :
- I don't have knee bending ( I used to had them for 2 month but now gone )
- I don't have ballerina while walking my heel are on the ground but i need to walk and stretch 2 to 3 mins before they touch the ground.
- I didn't restore my full dorsiflexion my foot are almost 95 degrees which make me miss so much activities like standing without aids. standing straight, going down stairs.
- I have tibial splint in my left leg because of tight frontal tibia muscle.
Are you the fake android?
Man oh man, this diary absolutely terrifies me. I've spoken to plenty of doctors, friends, and even read many diaries. I cannot believe that this doctor is recommending people to sit in bed and not promote physiotherapy and exercise. Walking and weight bearing promotes the bones to set in correctly. I'm trying to spend at least 2 hours training my legs, as well as upper body with weights in bed. I understand how little Russian doctors give a flying fook once the patient has paid and they aren't paying for extras, my doctor is the same. But at least my doctor said to "walk walk walk" whenever I could, and I figured it out from speaking with previous LL people to take stretching/PT seriously. It is undoubtedly painful, but every 2 days I'll get into the city and just try to walk to a coffee shop 600m away or something, even just to break the monotony of this horrible bed.
I am really hoping you can recover quickly man. Absolutely shocking about the misinformation that these guys get away with.
be very careful with russian chicks, once she is legally in the USA she will be the same as US women 
What do you specifically mean when you say your foot doesn't move well? Any specific motions? General weakneas? Ans what about sensation?
Wish you the beat of luck and a speedy recovery!
People who lengthen sometimes get foot movement problems. Sometimes it's ballerina. Sometimes it's nerve damage. The type of movement issue you have shows your problem. What type of movement issue do you have Android?
Jim and Pope asked if the lastest "update" was real.
Nope! Don't believe it.
I'll be back, nothing personal guys. I'm just a bit lazier than you thought.
Glad that you are back Android. Keep strong!
Woe that's such an evil thing to do. Looking forward for a real update. Stay strong!
