Hi,
I did 6cm on my tibia LON. I did get adjustment toward the end of the lengthening phase (turning outside more, inside less). I am about 4months out from my initial surgery, I had my internal nail fixed about 3wks ago and find that at this point I have a bit of knock knees. When I'm standing and I put my legs together, I can get my knees to touch but not my feet.
I am wondering what the opinion/fact is out there regarding the cause of x-legs. If you get x-legs from tibia LON is it majority fault of the surgeon or is it just part of the game like infections, etc? I mean I hope I don't have to get another surgery, but if I do have x-legs the only treatment is leg alignment surgery which would suck so bad...
Thanks guys
