I'm happy for you, Hamza. Solid trauma nail will not shorten the distraction. Please, keep us updated on your consolidation.

Good news Hamza,

Thanks GOD that I did the correction with Dr Betz.

Everything was perfect from A to Z, starting from the 5 star hospitality, 2 hours discussion in details at night in the room with Dr Betz the great listener and the great speaker, Blessed hands that saved my leg, down to earth as he came after surgery and helped me to wear my boxer and short I realy felt that he is my father and not my doctor, decent professional high in morals.

I regret that i didnt chose him from the first begining and used solid nail and avoided complications of telescopic nail which in his opinion was not the best choice for my case and i had the chance to walk directly after the surgery.

Dr betz used the same old fracture, cleaned it, lengthened 1 cm, bone graft from illiac crest, put a solid nail of 12 mm diameter because the precice was 12 mm diameter.
All what I care about now is that my bone heals at the end so I am following up with the top notch Dr Betz via email, phone and whatsapp.

I ll provide u with my new xray as soon as i go back to office.

Thanks GOD.
Wish u guys all the best.

Xrays uploaded.

I corrected the 9 mm difference in femur so i end up having equal femurs and I still have 5 mm difference (3 in tibia and 2 in ankle).
I am easily puting an insole of 3 mm to feel fully balanced and comfortable.

After 2 months of the surgery my walk is 70% back to normal (still far away from running).
I am still swaying a little bit but I am not using a cane for balance since 3 weeks ago.
Pain is still in the thigh but less by like 60% .
doing PT 2 times per week ( cant afford more ).
I feel that i need like 6 months post surgery to be able to walk normally & 1 year to be able to run.

Dr Betz said that I can do whatever activity I want with no limits and bone healing is good.

3 months 10 days post surgery:

My gait is 80% back to normal.
Pain is 90% less when walking.
I can go upstairs/downstairs without support but i need to be cautious due to some weakness in thigh.
I feel that I need 2 more months to be able to start running.
This kind of surgeries needs a lot of responsibility (stretching, strengthening) and patience.
Dr Betz ask for xray in March (5 months post surgery). I ll post it once done.

Hello,

Now I reached 5 months post removing precice nail 2, inserting solid nail and lengthening approx 1 cm as LLD correction.
Now my femurs are perfectly equal but I still have 5 mm difference between tibias (3 mm in tibia + 2 mm in ankle due to the old surgery).
I feel full balance and comfortable by inserting a 3 mm insole. thanks GOD no more cutting and modifying shoes .
Last week I started walking for like 8 km and I am also able to run but sure for a short distance like 1 km.

Below is the link of my xray (5 months post surgery):
