Thanks for ur concern, galaxy1. Yeh, living with these frames is definitely killing me. I am also having difficulty with keeping my Rom in my left knee due to a misalignment caused during operation. My goal is 7to7.5cms. And I am really anxious that I wouldn't be able to reach my goal.
hey bluebarbie , why did you do femurs and not tibias?

Your knee ROM ? well take it easy .. after removing the frame , You will get the knee range with proper PT . you need just to give it a time .
did they fix the alignment for you??? or would they fix it when they will insert the nail?.. you should fix it NOW, or right away after finishing the distraction .. don't wait a day after that. then they would tell you we can't fix it , cuz it would disturb the callus
hmmm what else, will about the 7cm .. usually you lose 1cm in femur lengthening so be aware of that ..
femur lengthening shouldn't be that painful. the frames is pain in the ass , but the lengthening process for the femur is easier than tibia .. either way .. give yourself rest , this would help you a lot to continue with your goal,.. and anyway in your xray it's seems you don't have that much of strong callus so you won't risk preconsildation .. ask your doctor about that and see what he would suggest for you ..
Hey blue, I am from Singapore too. I posted an x-ray here, but I realised it had my name. Your x-ray has your name too so u might wanna take it down or censor it. I think most x-rays from here have names.
