hello everyone , how everything going? Im almost finish the distraction phase and i will remove the fame in 10 days. which mean i will reach 7cm. I will stop because my leg is so heavy and feel pain all the time now , cant wait to take the fame off.

its depend on your flexibility before surgery and streching process in distraction phase. im do it by my self at home
Thank you for sharing! You're doing great! 
I removed the fame yesterday . It was terrible , my leg is so heavy and i cant not sleep a single minute. Dr say it would be so much cổmtable after remove the frame but i dont think so , it feel like someone sit on my leg. I hope the pain will reduce after 3-4 days.

Wow 7cm in tibia!! You did it man!! Congrats!!
Pain will reduce everyday. Just 3-4 days will be tough. After that, you are free from frames and free to walk! (of course, it will take time to walk well. but you will get there.)
Hang in there just for another moment!!

In walking un supported now . After 3 weeks and 3 days of 2nd surgery .
Im not using crutches yet . I have some muscle tightness and numb in my left ankle.
Im focus on exercies which strengthen my knees, calfs and streching my achille tendon now
Still have little equinus on right feet but i hope it will decrease soon .
That's some good development to walk unaided in three weeks, can you post you recent xray and are following any PT for workouts or working on your own?/
