Finally created a account here...will probably regret it. Read trough the post and got a huge headache halfway with the less focus on acutal LL but more blaming the Dr...who if you're not a complete moron or researched is if not the best in the world atleast top 3? I thought about making a post about my experience for the same reason as you to help further patients (as start reading yours was the reason i did it)..but now i don't know. Maybe i'll hijack a bit just mentioning that i did bilateral as well and i've had virtually zero pain except for maybe 2-3 weeks in the start at MIC..i take no pain killers, sleep like a baby, good internet (fiber, i get 300 mb down and 25 mb up - got my own router), nice people, great pt, awesome room coming from a guy who's been living in 5 stars hotels when traveling all his life. Deliveroo every day and Lola market for groceries. I can share my X rays here but i think that would be a bit to much hijacking

You are welcome to share your x-rays here, but you might as well create your own diary.
You seem to have an excellent and super easy recovery. Congratulations!
New running video, 10 months after surgery.
I cannot see much difference when looking at the video, but it did feel better than before. Not 100% yet, but getting close.
Will test my speed as soon as I get access to a 100 m track lane.
Looking good Helloworld,
I'm guessing that your new bone is still consolidating, I've read that it takes 1-2 years before the new bone is 100% formed. Your body is probably also getting used to the changes.
Thanks for keeping us updated. Would be great if you gave us small updates once in a while like this! We rarely hear from people after nails and rods are removed.
Could you try to explain how it feels better than before?
Do you feel less tired in legs, more balance or something similar?
Good luck and keep up!
Your running is weird but the results are very good coming from a Monegal patient as some of his patients can't walk after 3 years.

I have not been able to get a definitive answer on why I am not able to run as fast as before and why, as Datum says, my running looks weired. This have been suggestions:
1. muscle needs to regrow 100%, currently it might still be streched
2. I have not been walkign and running that much as I did before surgery, so I just need practise
3. implants has a weight, pulling down my legs
4. the bone normally "bounces" a little bit, I heared, but it cannot if it has implants
5. biomechnics are different, and I have to get used to it
6. my ass muscles are not as strong as before surgery
Personally, I think it is a combination but I am hoping that it is mainly the fact that I still have implants and that the muscle is still stretched but will gradually adjust to new lenght.
How does it feel different?
I would describe it as being a more conscious effort as compared to before, when I would just run without thinking about lifting my legs.
That said there has been a gradual improment, just not as fast as I would have hoped.

Thanks for your encouragement.
Did you not say above, that he was clearly one of the top 3 doctors in the world?
I did not have a ball. Sorry!
Hope to post a 100 meter sprint video soon, as soon as I get access to a track.
I hope you will improve but you should be happy. You run weird but you can run.
I never said this doctor was top 3. He is probably bottom 3. I said some patients can't walk after 3 years.

Thanks for your clarification.
Have you talked to the users "Realpatient", and "notimportant"? They would seem to agree with your evaluation of Dr. Monegal.
But after talking personally, face2face, with many of his patients, it would seem that the other user "inferiority complex" is right in that he is at least top 3.
And you probably confused 3 years with 3 weeks, is that possible?
