Quote from: Medium Drink Of Water on June 07, 2020, 12:46:31 PMRemoval surgery was a lot easier than the insertion surgery for me.  The legs don't have to be broken, so it's much less traumatic.  You'll be standing and walking again really quickly.

How quick would you say?

Maybe a stupid question but I wonder if there’s a SMALL loss of height due to removal? What do you think?

I was literally walking again (without crutches) the same day.
There is not reason to fear the removal surgery.
It's an outpatient surgery.
It's not at all like the insertion surgery.

I never removed mine. They’re in since January 2013. They don’t remove them in developed countries if they don’t bother you.

They don’t bother me. The lower screws man sometimes hurt when I get an impact right there, but other than that it’s nothing.

I jump around and do flips and everything with them inside.

Interesting, and I’m assuming your nails clearly weren’t  weight bearing nails like the Stryde nail

Why do you think they dont remove the nails in your country?

Do you think you can squat 300-400 lbs safely?
