Quote from: thankscience on March 20, 2022, 02:08:15 AMIs it just me or is the bone misaligned?
Also how come you had to spend a few days in ICU? Glad it's going well now!
Both Tibia bones are misaligned !
hey all. !
Completed two months from initial surgery and did my Xray last week and gained almost 4cm. Progression is good, standing twice a day using the crutches. Things are going smooth with distraction of 0.75mm/day. I could feel the muscles are getting tight on my left leg, however I am stretching them 3x-4xtimes a day to avoid muscle stiffness. Hopefully will remove the frames in 3-4 weeks.

hey all,
Removed my frames on may 8, though my goal was 6cm I pushed a little more for 6.5cm.
I have started to walk with walker and things are going okay now. The new height makes me feel good.
My hamstrings are tight now, doing physio twice a day, apart from physio I'm doing hamstrings stretches, calves stretches, gait exercises whenever possible on my own.
You can see my after frame removal xray below.

hey all,
I have started walking more and more and everyday is getting better. I am doing exercises to strengthen my legs. The new height gives more confident when I'm around the crowd. There is still some stiffness around the calves and ankles, but stretching everyday has become a routine and eventually it will reduce. Comparatively muscles are much relaxed now.
Congrats, Are you close to normal walking?
Thanks dude for your diary. How long did you stay with the HII team in the guest house and when did you return home?
Any updates?
