Femurs with Dr. Assayag in MD

Edit Post

Visiting Assayag 48 days after surgery. Bone formation is not looking very good so we will be slowing the lengthening down to 0.5mm per day

Edit Post

One of my viewers on youtube asked the question from Dr. Assayag about Nerve Damage. What are the symptoms, when to best detect it and how to triage it

Damn dude that is basically no callus almost non union not looking good

Accordion method will have to be done (distraction and then compression cycled daily)

Razaldazal you should stand more, like most of the day. You need that weightbearing not gonna grow bone sitting down

Good luck man I hope it improves and you stand more

Hi RazalDazal, you have done great so far. That being said, I also see some of the problems you are having with pain, bone growth etc.

Would you say you are doing enough PT and stretching at home? Also were you flexible pre-op? Sorry if you have answered this already.

Pl be careful while walking dude...Prioritise safety and function over anything else at this point..Good luck !

Thank you ghkid. It's quite a coincidence that you mentioned about moving and standing. About a couple of days ago I noticed that as well and started to deliberately move and walk extra everyday. my next appointment with Dr Assayag is in three four days so we will see how it goes.

Fingers crossed!

Hi PG,

I am doing PT daily but as Ghkid said about moving, I was staying mostly sedentary. I have started to walk more.

As for pre-op flexibility, I was not flexible at all

Hope this helps

🙏🏼🙏🏼 that extra walking/standing will 100% help, you will get through this if you stand and move more. Weightbearing more is 100% correlated to good callus growth backed by decades of orthopedic research and Paley rozbruch and every CLL doctor toutes this (way more important than any vitamin D 10000iu or calcium supplement). A person taking no vitamins whatsoever but weightbearing will have much faster growth than someone very sedentary and taking all the supplements in the world (in my opinion weightbearing is the only thing that matters to determine callus bone growth)

You don't even have to walk if not practical like as you are doing like an office job, walking is preferred but you can conjure a standing desk setup and just stand prolonged periods daily. Most important is just femur bone resisting gravity, pushing it down



Good on you for noticing it as well, you are on the path to recover strong 💪🏻

Cheers razal
