Seriously, I wouldn't worry about it at all. If you do care about it, remove the 1-2cm insole, that would help. But anyway, what matters is that you seem to be fine without major complications, isn't it?

Now for the sake of my feet and knees, I wear only normal shoes. It doesn't matter at all, as long as I walk fine and I recover steadily as until now. It's the other guys who are really fixated on if it is noticeable, what am I gonna say, etc. For the people close to me I'll say the truth, for the others, I don't have to give explanations.
Totally agreed! I haven't done the schedule and I am still wearing insoles. Insoles really suck but no choice for now.
Do you send x-rays to Dr guitchet to ser your consolidation? Do you have any doc in South America that checks you aswell?

Since my 60 days post op x ray I haven't taken any other. Femur consolidation takes 4-6 months. I will take an x- ray tomorrow as I complete the 4 months post op.
I think you are not putting full weight as your femurs are not completely consolidated, I thought you had to have another doc in your country, but I am more quit becuase you only need to send x-rays.

what did you just say? hahaha
That you dont have another doctor in your country, you send images to your surgeon, he Will tell you when you are fully consolidated.
Yep, but haven't had the need to send him x-rays. Already when I left Milan, he told me I could do everything except running/sports. So that's the only limitation he told me. It was only my decision to use the crutches for a little bit longer and wait for further consolidation.
Hey guys, I am 100% back to everyday life. Unfortunately I can't go back to med school until next year so not much to do but pass the time. However, as of now, I am able to live a normal life to a point.
Unfortunately not everything is good because my consolidation is slower than my fellow lenghteners who did it around the same time as me. I have a very different pattern of consolidation in which the bone is not hypertrophic but healing occurs mostly when the bone originally was.
I post my xrays exactly 4 months post op. Please Penguinn if you can, check them out and tell me your opinion as this is also your pattern of consolidation.
