Quote from: Body Builder on December 10, 2023, 02:28:47 PMYou will need about 45 days for each cm. So 90 days for 2 cm.

Thank you so much. I asked this question to Dr. Assayag, and he said to expect to be in frames for 6 months. I asked him again, to make sure he didn’t misunderstand…again he said to expect 6 months. 

I was so confused. 

What do you guys think?

I know this is a strange request, but if you get the chance, could you please ask your Dr this questions? How long to expect to be in TSF frames for a slight procurvatum deformity correction and 2cm lengthening? Male, 28 years old.

Thank you!

How well maybe with procurvatum it's longer? Anyway I also have procurvatum that I need to fix as soon as I finish lengthening.
It's a bit weird to ask my doctor how much time for another patient from another country cured by another doctor, but I'll see next time.

Having excruciating pain when trying to move my right leg now. It’s from some pin sites. They’re clean, but that area and the muscleres around cannot be moved right now. So my right leg is paralyzed (I mean, the leg works, but it’s so painful to move). I hope it will go away, looks like a pin site inflammation.

For 2 cm? Of course not. If you have very slow consolidation you will need max 4 months for 2cm.

Hobbit99 clean the pin sites that hurt with disinfectant with something like betadine. Don't let it worsen. If it persists talk with your doctor to begin some oral antibiotics for 5-6 days and it will be fine. But you must not postpone it for many days

For now I’m putting betadine there. Let’s see how it goes

yea, some have big cuts and even some discharge but no pain. This one has just a small cut, no discharge and makes my leg impossible to move due to pain. The area of the skin around is very sensible when touching and hurts a lot.
