I've heard that before the frame removal in pure external tibia method, the dynamization needs to be done a month earlier. This is the process where they unload the partial weight bearing from frames in order for a patient to load more weight onto the bones for adaptation.

Is there a possibility of height loss during that process?

I'm going to do this with full-ring Ilizarov frames with hexapod correction. When will I able to weight bear unassisted? Since they are strong frames unlike monorails, I think it won't bend if I start walking without crutches after 3-4 months of surgery.
