So I want to do my procedure in Russia, with Dr. Kulesh and Solomin. I am most likely going to be doing LON as I do not want the recovery to last too long as I want to do 14cm max (probably might do less). With that In mind I calculated as follows;
1st surgery: Tibia 7cm, about 70 days for distraction followed by 2nd surgery: 7cm femur(again 70 days distraction) both procudures needing 10 days for correction total of about 160days Post Op. Now my question is, after these 160 days of distraction, how long will consolidation take? Meaning: how long until I am able to walk normally without the use of crutches, and with a normal gait so that my walking looks normal?

I know right now I say I want to lengthen 7 on each segment but I will probably only be doing 5cm on each anyway.
