Timeframe of a LON tibia CLL

Edit Post

Hey LL,

Just wondering what is the timeframe from when the fixator frames come off, how long does it take to start walking normally again, I have seen around 5 months AFTER the frames are removed before your unassisted walk is normal again. Thoughts?

Another timeframe I am interested in knowing is around 1-1.5 years after frame removal when the bone has consolidated 100%, after removal of LON nail surgery occurs, how long does it take to walk normally again. I have seen a video of a patient 30 days after the nail removal barley walking using a walker, just wondering how long that recovery takes.

I don't know what was wrong with that patient.  I was walking without crutches or a walker within a few days of nail removal.

I misinterpreted nail with frame removal, the video I saw was 30 days after frame removal.
