For those who did LL surgery with Precise 2.0 - how soon you started walking with crutches?
How many months you were in a wheelchair?

1. 3-4 months depend the rate of lengthening
2. 2 months during consolidation
3. In short, you need to be in wheelchair for 5-7 months
4. But again, you may use walker at home for short distance if you are not too heavy
5. It is best you do online consultation with LL Surgeon if you are serious.
6. This is just a rough guide, everyone is different - some faster or slower.

I consolidated extremely fast. I could walk after about 6 weeks of stopping the lenghtening

You have to ask clearly, if you want a clear answer !
Precice on femur is very different comparing with Precice on tibia, regarding callus formation, pain and walking recovery. Also if you do Precice Quad.
Then, if you have 10mm nails are very different than 12mm nails.
Your weight is important.
Your fitness is very important.
If you have complications, or not, etc.

So, everything is different, from case to case. And that means MANY months difference...

Interested to know how/ why the 10.7mm nail differs to 12mm nail in terms of time to walk (both are rated for the same weight). Is it a case that the 12mm even though rates the same is stronger so you can walk sooner?

Hi, Juju.
Its simple... the wider is a piece of metal, the stronger !
Even though they say it resist same.
I know that very well, because a guy with exactly same surgery as mine, left Antwell 3 weeks before i came, was healed after 6 months and in the 7-th month he started to dance salsa !
So, the 12mm implants help you to recover 2 months earlier than 10mm implants.
Me, I am almost 5 months and I am still in wheelchair... and I will be happy if I can stand up in the 7-th month !

What do you think about weight bearing like P Max?
Will it help to "dance salsa" even faster?

Nobody knows yet. But, for sure will help.
Unfortunately is no more than 60% weight bearing, so is suitable for skinny guys...
