What are the techniques available to walk during the consolidation phase without support (without external as well), if internal this is fine but having external will make your surgery obvious to everyone and i am sure that most people here do not wish that to happen.
LON and LATN for externals. The surgery will be obvious to anyone who knows you either way if you lengthen more than 5 cm..

What about someone don't know this kind of surgeries exist? what do you think their reaction will be? just curious.
Ask me again in 2 months. I'm still hidding at home until I walk normal and don't use crutches anymore haha
In a country where the average is 177 and you go from 160 to 165, you can get away with it. The closer you get to the average and the closer the people around you are to your height, the more noticeable it will be. For example I surpassed my father at 170 and my brother at 165, anyone who know us will immediately notice if they see us together.
What technique did you use, height gained, and how long have you been on crutches and till when?
Internal femur with Guichet Nail, gained 6 and 6.5 cm. Been on walker for the first 7 days after surgery then crutches for 2 months. I started walking after that but although the doctor has allowed me to be completely off crutches. I still use them for stairs, sitting and standing, also for people on the street to know I'm not normal.
Guichet Nail is too expensive for me, i am thinking to make LATN or complete external with Dr Milorad Mitkovic, however he is somehow complication the LATN for me and making it not worthy, i am not sure if what he is saying is correct or he is trying to convince me with his external.
You are doing tibias then. Forget about LATN or LON. Do pure externals. No amount of gain is worth the permanent pain and also it is less invasive than the nail and you would have to do another surgery for LATN.

Do your best to make it internal femur, its the safest fastest and less complicated one. You will recover faster than any method, your health is priceless so no excuse just save the money and go to a respectful doctor. Good luck

It is not the safest, the safest is only external method.
