Quote from: kusop on February 20, 2014, 04:38:29 PMDo you, after 7 years, still have knee pain? on what scale is it (1-10)
Yes, my knees still bother me sometimes. It ranges from 0-4 depending on what I'm doing. Kneeling is the worst.
Quote from: Medium Drink Of Water on February 20, 2014, 05:03:18 PMPersonally I wouldn't do it since complications could happen at any time, and periodic adjustments need to be made to the fixators.
With complications you mean like severe pain and infections? 
And what do you mean with periodic adjustments? If that is necessary why would they even allow patients to lengthen at home?

Adjustments are needed if you develop a discrepancy between your gap sizes, or if your legs become misaligned. Those can be fixed at the end but it's easier to nip them in the bud.
Hi i'm sorry people, i seem to be having a big confusion here, Did Apo gain 6 inches on just his TIBS? OR did he like break his 6 inch gain into femur + tibs? I mean, i think i just red on reddit that he had it done on just his tibs?!

No, he didn't do 6 inches on his tibiae alone.

hi again
I have question, and yes it is again about the callus
my last x-ray shows that the callus in my both tibia better than the femurs
when I asked the Dr he said cuz the femur has a lot of muscles that's why in the x-ray it wont show much callus, but both your tibia and femur has the same amount of the callus.
2days later I asked Dr Rah (the one who operated the surgery for me), and he said I have kind of poor callus in the femurs , acctaully he said (not good as it is in the tibia), and that may happened during fixing the misalignment, according to him it disturbed the callus .
so which one of them should I believe, is true that fixing the misalignment causes losing some callus?
if that the case then when it is the best time to fix the misalignment?
