ah of course i never thought of that.
so say in the first month of consolodation, i return home and just sit on the first step, then drag myself up a step, its 15 steps in total, i will only be doing this once, I just need to get upstairs to my room whese my bathroom is also very close as well.
Yeah just think of it as a workout.. Remember u can still use your legs to push urself up.. The devices are 50% weight bearing
lol yeah so it is safe then? I was worried dragging my legs up the stairs may cause an issue with the device.
but no I will only do this once to get upstairs, I wont be doing that a lot for exercise or anything.
is the ilazarov weight bearing, and does weight bearing genernally mean you can walk around with it on.
fk man! that osteotomy looks really bad, you did well not going for more than 4cm , if you have gone for more i think that your tibia should end with a big misalignament

Not so bad. I've seen worse
is it a problem with the device , or with the doctor.
I think i may have to go with another device due to fear of a complication that is similar to this.
This really makes me re consider this Dr. Simply because I've had such a thing happen to another one of my bones when I broke it and the bump bothers me to this day. Plus at his price I wouldn't expect this to be a common occurrence either
I think it's a problem with the device rather than the doctor. Monorails aren't as good at preventing/fixing misalignments.
would this problem not happen with dr barinov?
sorry for the newbie questions, I just had no idea this stuff could happen, it really sholud be posted somewhere under 'complications' that you can have bump in knees with this device.
Sorry to anyone who's done it already but no one should be getting monorails at all in this day/age. The design of these devices makes no sense as they allow minimal control over angulation/alignment. Anyone getting a monorail is putting themselves at risk for misalignment.
