First of All I want to say hello to everyone. Finally I made the decision to do the surgery and im on Day 4 now for lengthening. Because of my good bone health (according to doctor) I can do 1.5mm everyday. Im pretty unsure about this, can I still do 1mm or its to risky because of pre consolidation? Did someone ever got pre consolidation by lengthening 1mm per day? Its indeed truth that I have a fast recovery (second day after surgery I was pretty in good shape) but still 1.5mm sounds to much.



Also I got 12.5mm nail and I can use Walker for walking. But I dont want to bend the nail and I read here that you have to "hop" with walker instead of walking like a normal Person. Can someone Show me how to walk/hop with a walker and how to use it properly?

Sorry for my Bad englisch. I will shortly post my while experience of this surgerpy

Its in Turkey. I dont want to say names but if someone is interested they can write me Private. Everything fine, pain Level is low and Im feeling good. But I think its also because of internal method instead of LON Femur which is common used In Turkey.

Im just worried about lengthening 1.5mm per Day and walking with a walker, everything else is pretty relaxed.

Im trying to not use walker because im so scared to bench the nail but sometimes I need to. Atleast its 12.5mm nail
