X ray after frame removal

Edit Post

tried standing up on a walker yesterday (7th day after frame removal). No pain in legs but I can feel my calf muscle stretching. Stood up for about a minute.

His Facebook shows patients getting like 9cm easily how is that possible did you see anybody in there doing 9cm he has numerous patients doing 9cm

i know a guy that did 8cm and has a normal gait after 2 months. But he said that he cannot sit for too long or his legs will start to feel weird? don’t know what he meant by that, but he have to stand and walk around to get rid of that feeling.
