It's progressing but my last X-ray is from day 60 post op. Since I'm already taking biphosphonates and vitamin D/calcium there is not much I can do but train and wait. Dr Guichet has allowed me to jump and go up and downstairs but I'm waiting 1-2 months and then take hopefully my last x ray (4-5 months post op) in which we'll see if I've fused completely.

Great! You can jump! That feels great, right?
I'm only about 3 months post op so I mini jumped to please/shut up Dr Guichet. It was scary... I will not do it again until I'm fully fused haha.

If you walk almost normally, what does fully fused means to a full weight barring nail, what the difference it will make you think? Do you consider fully fused an 80% recovered or more?

Fully fused means that your bone is consolidated and is as strong as it was before LL. The weight bearing nail means that it can support your weight without relying on your bone formation. For Gnail its 80 kg per nail. But the fact that it supports my weight enough for me to walk doesnt mean that there are no restrictions: i cant leg press or squat for example.

160 kg is the weight limit of g-nail?
Yes one of the patients told me that but I never confirmed with Dr Guichet. Still he made me stand up on one leg the second week after surgery so I know it handled my 65 kg without problems
how money months you expect your bone will fully consolidated?
