has anyone done 8cm on tibias and regained athletic ability. I'm reaching 6cm+ mark and feel like can go to 8 but I
m quite concern about post op recovery. Can someone confirm this, I know not many people go for 8 con tibias so the information is kinda limited

5cm-6cm seems to be maximum that one can expect to regain 90%,
Definitely not at 8cm

regain 90% after how long post-op I wonder, I have seen some guys who did 7 and doing very well after 1-2 years. At 6cm+ I feel no pain at all compared to a few weeks ago when things were quite bad, weird af. Well, if what you said is true then I should call it in a few days but still might regret later

There aren't many cases because complications rise after 5cm. Did you reach 6cm with weight-bearing nails? Because feeling like you can go 6+ with external fixiators is very different than going 6+ with weight bearing. You won't be able to walk. My internal femur nails can go 11cm+, but I'll only go 8-9cm because my walking is getting worse.

I'm doing lon with full weight bearing nail, walking is no problem before 5. Now at 6, due to the bulkiness of the frame and poor right leg ankle dorsiflexion I stopped walking just standing and doing variations of stretches. Man, this is difficult, I either call it after 5 days or push it all the way to 8. idk, I haven't had anything too serious up to this point so it's so tempting to get to 8cm

According to what I have read, the recommended is 5 cm in tibias, I personally would not go over 6, I think that with 6 and a good recovery you could recover your best shape, by the way... how was Vietnam for surgery? how much did everything cost you? I hope it goes well.

googd to know. I had my latest consultation with my doc 2 weeks ago and he said that 8 is possible in my case. In Viet Nam, the majority of CLL will be done as LON or external frame on tibias and most ppl would go above 5+cm and beyond. We also have some doctor who would do precise but since the nail is not full weight bearing so it's not preferable due to slow recovery. Usually it cost 15-20k here including everything from rental, pain oral, hospital, a care taker,....Atmm I'm in very good condition at 6cm+ and ready to call it at any moment. I just wanna know if anyone in the old forum has done 8 and camback with over 90%. I'm expecting quite high post consolidation phase

Precise was 20kUSD??
Quote from: Fiveandsomething on July 02, 2021, 07:33:26 AMPrecise was 20kUSD??
no LON is 20k for everything
PRECISE is likely under 25k, everything is cheap here not as expensive like in other countries or otherwise I couldn't be able to afford this surgery
