Anyone know how long it would take in most cases where everything goes according to plan and lengthening is done at an average rate to reach the point where you can weight bear slightly to fully with the precise nail if lengthening to 8 cm, when you'll be able to walk without assistance, have a normal normal gait, drive a vehicle for a short period of time to a ling period?

walking unassisted by 6 months.
I have patients drive by 3.5 months when they don’t take any narcotics and their reflexes are back .
normal gait may take up to a year, but this is not specific to PRECICE
Thanks Dr. Assayag, didnt know you were on this forum but thats cool that you are. Im currently waiting for stryde because i dont want to miss too much time from work. I work two jobs. One that is an office job and another that requires me to be on my feet. I would be okay with at least getting back to the one where i can just drive to my office and work. I also rather not tell my parents about this procedure til after its done so they dont worry which is why i want a normal gait. How long would you say in comparison to the stryde nail would the precise 2 take to get a normal gait, be able to star walking unassisted. really just trying to figure out a timetable to get back to working and a normal walk before i can get back to my normal life. Dont want anyone asking questions about what happened to me.
