Right I know its not weight bearing and you should use a wheelchair
Even still, I've seen someone with both femurs and tibias precise (so 4 precise nails inside of him) use a walker to walk, which surprised me. Though he was very light, maybe like 125 pounds
Even though my freshman year weight was like 130 ish pounds, I think realistically if I tried very hard I could only get down to maybe 147 pounds minimum at this point
I know it would still be above the weight limit but I am just trying to get a rough idea of how bad the situation would be
How much weight can non weight bearing precise 2.2 nails support?
Yeah I wonder how it is for internal tibia
I'm doing internal gnail now, thinking of doing precise 2.2 internal tibia later
I mean ideally I will have lost alot of weight by then
I see an LL patient with precise femurs who still uses a walker, I sort of wonder how things change for internal tibia
I think if I work hard I can get to like 150 pounds and then that will probably still be over the tibia weight limit but I wonder in practice how bad / dangerous the situation will be on a walker with internal tibias at that weight. I think more realistically I will only get down to like 160 pounds
Alot of times randomly with gnail I'll briefly be supported by only my two legs when I'm moving the walker and I feel fine
I saw a guy who doing both internal femur and internal tibia at the same time but his situation was unique because of the 4 nails + he was under 130 pounds
