Hi all,
I am approx 215 pounds, 5'9 (a lot of muscle).  Strongly considering stryde femurs.  However, my doctor has given me the impression that because of my bone size I will only be able to use the 11.5mm diameter nail (which supports 200 pounds)--not the larger, 13mm nail (which supports 250 pounds).  Does anyone know how this will affect weigh-bearing?  It would seem to me that if I cannot put all 215 pounds on one-leg, then I can never walk unassisted until I have consolidated.  Is that right?

Thanks
