Tibia Lengthening (Precice 2.2) with Dr Assayag

Edit Post

Quote from: Height Journey on August 03, 2023, 12:55:07 AMHydrotherapy (aquatic PT) is helpful when the patient is partial weight bearing. I'm well past that stage so hydrotherapy is no use to me.


I didn't drive during lengthening, nor is it recommended during lengthening. You might need extra force to slam the brakes or have a car mishap (like flat tire or accident).


Even after a year since surgery, the scars are slowly and steadily becoming less visible.
Are you going to make youtube on the surgery scars post one year operation?

Thanks for the helpful video.
In the radiograph, the callus has not yet bridged the cortex in certain areas.
Therefore, I believe that the doctor's policy of waiting for 6 months before removing the rod, and performing only syndesmotic screw removal during the surgery scheduled for October, is correct.

Physical Therapy (Sep 29, 2023) - Advanced Consolidation of Tibial Lengthening, Stamina, Gait

Also includes preliminary plans for rod removal surgery.

Looking forward to hearing about how the femur rod removal and tibia screw removals will affect the athletic ability. Especially removing the tibia ankle screws could improve your walking gait when doing the walking on a straight line exercise.

I think I remember some stories about how rod and screw removals can create micro cracks that require some time to heal. So maybe go easy until new years to be safe.

My Upcoming Femur Rod Removal Surgery
https://youtu.be/Whs-OZtZHCk

It's finally coming up soon - my femur rod removal surgery. While my tibia rods will stay inside my tibias for about 5 to 6 more months, the syndesmotic screws (the long screws that secure the fibula to the tibia) will be removed during the same surgery.

A big step to reaching closer to the end of my height journey. Watch the video for more details.

Do you recommend those over 50s for Tibias Surgery?
You did Femur and Tibias.
In your experience and opinion - Is Femur more difficult than Tibias or vice versa?
