Should I Stop at 4.5 cm due to poor bone healing ?

Quote from: Apollo676 on June 20, 2021, 04:55:33 PMDepending on the size of the precise nail used,you might actually be able to walk slowly,11mm precise nail can weight bear something like 44kgs,it might help your bone growth,while still using crutches of course,or a walker,because that's quite odd,if you sleep properly,you eat enough and take your supplements,you should be able to have a proper bone growth,do you have some sort of medical condition ?
Maybe you don't eat enough or suffer from malnutrition,52kgs is really low,even if you measure 1.60-65cm


I lost some weight during LL , Since  I'm eating a minimum sugar and carp 

it is very hard to gain weight and keep healthy diet

Thank you so much , this is  a very positive post , I might need to do test for all my vitamins ASAP , and I hope every thing will  be fine sooner .

Quote from: Medium Drink Of Water on June 20, 2021, 05:08:11 PM52 Kg is a good weight; I'm 57 at 178 cm.  Walking isn't generally a risk you should take with Precise, but you should be able to stand at 52 Kg as long as you keep your weight evenly-distributed between both legs, so I'd ask the doctor why he recommends against even standing.  Weight bearing stimulates bone growth.  You're being set up to fail by not being allowed to stand.

he said your weight is fine , but he dos not want to allow me officially, he said  "why should you take a risk , a Precise originally NOT made for weight bearing , thats why they comps up  stryde nail  to overcome with the limit  weight bearing restriction... "

But I think I will take come step with the a assistance of walker .

Eat more protein and have a balanced diet,if i were you i would take a multivitamin supplement as well,you can also increase your calcium intake up to 1g especially if you need to grow bones,for teenagers the recommended amount of calcium is 1.2g per day,magnesium is important so thats a good point,eat a lot of healthy fat,avocados,olive oil,almonds ( magnesium + fat in it ),and take your supplements while eating a large meal,with some healthy fat
And to be extra safe expose your skin to the sun ( we are in summer so you're should be easily covered ),as even if you take vitamin D through food and supplements,somehow some people can't properly assimilate it,but skin exposure to the sun makes Vitamin D skips the fat absorption issue you have to deal with food
And yes you should at least try to stand on your legs as much as you can just to put some pressure on your legs

I think this post is important for people to understand that weight bearing nails are important not just because they are more convenient but because they stimulate faster bone growth. The more you walk with Stryde or Betzbone, the faster the bone healing will be. With Precise you can't do this safely.

Instead of stopping why don't you ask your doctor if you can take a 2 week break and then check bone growth? If it's improving then you continue, otherwise wait for another 2 weeks.

Please ask your doctor about this.

Hey man, does cycling aid bone healing as well? Just curious because walking tires me out super fast.

Yea totally ask with your doc for this,or maybe you could at least reduce your dailly lengthening,improve your diet,and look for an improvement and see how things goes in 2 weeks or even a month depending on your doctor recommendations
