Questions for internal tibia veterans

Edit Post

1. How long should you budget from surgery time to be able to walk normally if you do 5cm internal tibias? (roughly)

Ex: with precise 2.2

2. How long would you stay in Athens with Dr. Giotikas during internal tibia before coming home to the USA? My parent's home is handicap compliant but finding a doctor nearby willing to do the x-rays or help me will be difficult

3. What are some main things I should know about internal tibia that is different than internal femur?

4. Hamstrings are connected to tibias, no? You can feel it in some stretches. Did you find it useful to still do hamstring stretches also during tibia LL for this reason? I'm doing gnail femurs now and hamstrings are a problem for me

5. When you leave your doctor's area, what are some example things a physical therapist can do for you that you can't do on your own? Tibia stretches seem easy, there's just two: straight leg calves stretch for gastrocnemius and bent leg seated stretch for soleus, no? What else does the PT do that you can't do? Trying to figure out if will need PT after coming home from internal tibia

What kind of non-obvious specific positions or movements do you feel precise tibia patients are most likely to put too much weight/strain on the nail and damage it by accident? A bit worried because its not weight bearing

I feel like the main time you'd be standing would be the toilet/bathroom/physio bench/shower transfers so I imagine that there are certain movements/positions during those transfers that are more prone to damaging the non-weight-bearing nail by accident
