How Long Can You Stand And Work For After Surgery?

Quote from: Body Builder on June 01, 2021, 10:04:37 PM6cm compared to 7 is a very small difference to have major differences in rehabilitation.
5cm are safer but for most of us that amount was not enough so it worth the small risks to gain 1-2cm more and have a more respectable height.
Personally I can stand for 2+hours after LL. Maybe I can more but there is no need as my work is on the desk so there is no reason to stand for long times.

When it comes to tibias not true. 6 vs 7 is a big difference, 5 vs 7 is huge. After a certain point each cm is exponentially detrimental. I’m very sure if he had done 6 or under he would feel that way

Not trying to be rude or anything but how long can you stand for, I know you have just done your surgery few months ago and yeah I hope your doing well.

Also if you don’t mind telling me what do you do for a living like office job?

To be honest, 6 months post-op (6 CM femurs), I could stand for hours and even went on long walks and hikes around the 8/9 month mark. I did have a little limp when I would get out of a car or sitting for a long time. All in all, standing and relearning to walk was pretty quick, it was the higher-level athletic stuff that took way longer.

Why is 7 cm way worse than 5?  And don't use forum lore to back up your assertion.

I can stand for hours now, I'd say I can stand as much as I used to pre-op, but there'll just be more of a conscious effort to achieve that. but I can confidently say I can stand for 8-10 hours a day if I got paid enough to do that at 1yr 10 months

I believe complication rates go up way more past 5 cm than under 5 cm, and the rate keeps increasing the further up you go from 5 cm. Not sure if it's exponential though.

Honestly I’m happy for you man, this was encouraging thanks a lot. Also the fact that you did 8cm on femurs and you are able to do that, it’s amazing. Do you think if you had done surgery in tibia plus the femurs youd still be able to stand for long hours ?

That's my point.  People "believe" this with no evidence, and repeat it as fact.

Then why do you consider shortening your legs now?

I can't say for sure but I'm sure It'd be harder with another surgery on top
