POD 21
It was a re-examination day yesterday.
I took a x-ray examination.
The doctor said that the left tibia was lengthened exactly and its bone formation was also satisfactory.
I will continue distraction of 0.75 mm per day as well as the former.
I attained 1 cm of leg lengthening today ! It's a little milestone.
Although it is now almost favorable progress, I have a pain in a knee and cannot fully extend a knee.
I was instructed to perform a stretch enough by the doctor.
There are still no signs of a ballerina foot.
Is there any person who uses a knee brace at the time of leg lengthening here?

This is useful for prevention of knee Contracture?

Internal tibias - Dr Ito - 2017 - first PRECICE2 case in Japan
Hello
Congratulations on reaching 1cm. I live in Japan too and would love to support you if I can. I completed LL many years ago successfully so it's great to see a Precise patient operated on in Japan.
A few questions that immediately come to mind.
1. Were you flexible before the operation? If not, devote your time to stretching your calf muscle regularly.
2. Did you doctor recommend the knee brace for the link you posted? I'd think it's best to focus on stretching than restricting range of motion but follow your doctors instryctions.
3. Are you mobile? Are you using crutches to get to work etc. To the combi etc
4. Are you free for a chat via skype or even a meet face to face?
Regards,

Hello, Tall Story!
Thanks for the reply.
1. I was not flexible before the operation. Now I have daily stretching exercises.
2. My doctor didn't propose using the knee brace. I read PDF(P408) below and had an interest in the knee brace.
https://www.hss.edu/files/LL-Motorized_Intramedullary_Nail_for_Management_of_Limb-length_Discrepancy_and_Deformity.pdf
quote of the page：
"Physiotherapy is instituted for tibial
lengthening, with a focus on ankle
dorsiflexion and knee extension.
The patient wears an ankle dorsiflexion
split during the day and
a knee extension brace at night."
3. I can go to the office using crutches now. It's possible to take a train, but I avoid a jam-packed train.
4. I'm sorry, I don't want to disclose my face and status now. Further, I can read English, but I am not good at listening.
If you have a personal question, please use PM.
God bless,

Wow, taking the train! I imagine it's rough during rush hour. Not all stations have elevators either, but at least Japan has escalators, unlike cities like New York -- stairs only for most stations.
Glad you're doing well!

Hello Android,
I avoid the huge and crowded station like Shinjuku, but I take a train every week.
There are a lot of stairs in the subway, and it's hard, but I can climb stairs by crutches.
I will continue to make efforts.

Soon my lengthened amount reaches 2 cm.
The lengthened amount by ERC and the length in the x-ray inspection were identical in a medical examination several days ago.
I take about 6T of Tramcet(painkiller) every day.
I sometimes feel the pain in the knee and an ankle, but it isn't terrible.
A ballerina foot isn't seen for the moment.
I am difficult to extend a left knee completely.
I got permission from doctor, began to wear a knee brace at night. http://a.co/5N8qa17
There is no serious trouble for the moment.
I'll apply myself to a stretch every day.
God bless,
How's the LL going, key?
Hello,long time no see.
My lengthened amount reached 3 cm.
However, there is bad news.
Since bone formation was bad, my lengthening rate was lowered to 0.25 mm/day.
Because I increased the quantity of work recently, I am busy.
I think that posting and PM reply will be delayed. I'm sorry.
God bless,
