Quote from: indian on March 25, 2021, 12:19:39 PMwith LON you have to us walkers for at least 4-6 months then you can gradually start walking unassisted. Some people take 9-12 months to be able to walk unassisted with LON. The nail in LON is a thin nail and it can break so doctors don't allow full weight bearing.


This is some false information.

Quote from: RB on March 25, 2021, 11:33:08 AMEach nail needs to support you full body weight for full weight bearing as when you step from one leg to another it transfers your whole weight so precise can never be weight bearing.


You can walk with both feet at once to spread out the weight if you use a walker to support yourself when you're off the ground.  Some patients in Beijing did that if they couldn't take proper single-legged strides due to ankle tightness.

This is what Dr. Parihar told and there are some dr lee diaries in the forum where the person is not able to walk after 6 months.
