Hi,

I underwent tibial lengthening around 1.5 years ago... got new x-rays and my fibulas have not reached union despite my active effort to do so by exercising.
I was wondering what I am missing here. do they naturally take a long time to heal or am I the anomaly?

I lengthened around 5cm, and my lengthening rate was normal (1 mm/day). I made sure my nutrition was adequate. this situation does not really affect my life quality but it's kind of a bummer for them not to heal despite all the effort.
