Zib, that is how a good callous immediately after the frame removal is expected. There is a faint shadow connecting.
While, I am no expert at judging xrays so take this with a grain of salt. But, having been in this forum long enough it looks good to me.
Curious to hear what others have to say.

that is correct and nothing else to add really

the callous is basically like a soft dry bubble gum getting pulled so its normal for it to be barely visible at that stage

non union shows clear black space between the two bone ends so this is not the case here

Yes, They only do external. If you can accept the scares then proceed with externals.

Quote from: Cthulhu on June 10, 2023, 09:14:20 AMHi, Yes, I did do both surgery at the same centre. The surgeon's name is Dr. Quynh. Communications are done with the director of the limb lengthening centre, through WhatsApp. If you would like more details, I can give you his WhatsApp contact.

Approximate price range?

Hi all, just giving an update. I'm still in recovery, walking around the house without crutches but walking outside with crutches.

The daily struggles so far are: getting out of bed, getting in out of the car, pretty much an activity that requires me to bend down low. My knees and hips sometimes click. I've been told its not a major concern unless it causes pain.

attached below are my x-ray before I left Vietnam to go back home.

I'm a bit concern about the callus formation on my right leg on the lateral side, there seems to be weak callus formation, not completely connecting.

I want to go an X-ray at the end of the month, I wonder what do people tell their doctors ? For my tibia, I went one year later, when the callus fully formed, so I told him I just broke my leg in a bike crash. But since the callus is not fully formed in my femur, I don't think he will believe it was a break from an accident. Do people just say they had cosmetic limb lengthening surgery?

Why didn't you lengthen more on tibia or femur ? Is that all your body could handle
