Phew! Alright, this makes sense. I was under the impression that you have hit a complication. Take care and give us a piece of good news real soon.
this is not non union
@sunshine
Sorry man..I thought it was..I wish you a very speedy and safe lengthening...
Sunshine, I don’t see the lateral view but your right femur is already healed, just need to wait 1-2 months for the left one.
Your bone is strong, even a bit more than average I’d say 
What are the best ways to speed up callus growth during consolidation?

Standing and other weight bearing activities. For sunshine though because it's precice and non weight bearing, standing is dangerous until at least significant callus which is not quite there yet. So for sunshine, best is just time. Bone Supplements help marginally like jarrows bone up. Eating well and alot calories also.
No problem Realistic!
Tartar, I too think my right femur has stronger callus than my left one.
ghkid2021, yeah non-union is not really something I worry about. I’m more concerned about preserving the integrity of my Precice nails. There are so many things I’d like to do and I’m burning to walk again but I simply don’t wanna upset these Precice as the last thing I need right now is a catastrophic failure of the nails, ie. a bend or a break!
Vibes, the best way to speed up callus growth during consolidation is walking unaided if your lengthening device allows full weight bearing. Walking and putting pressure on your bones and callus stimulate blood circulation thus callus growth.
Apollo676, I believe LON femurs is more weight bearing than Precice!
