But anyone whose done the surgery know you cant stand 100% even on both of your legs, so there has definitely been split seconds where maybe one side of my body takes 75% of my weight or more. But overall, this is standard for PRECISE 2.2? Non weight bearing nail you dont want to offload more than 50% of your weight.

I mean what are these questions lol, I feel like these are basic ones thats not even worth asking.

I just don't understand why you need to offload more than 50% with crutches but you don't with a walker. Since my "basic questions" are bothering you, I'll stop. Good luck!

Bro I'm agreeing you DONT. And I can move on to crutches if I really wanted to. You can start using crutches even when you're lengthening and I've seen that with people who are 190 pounds. But you need to learn the CORRECT way to use the crutches and I don't have a physical therapist to be by my side and teach me. Hence I'm still using the walker which is a lot SAFER and EASIER. It will make a lot more sense when I can bear more weight and further consolidated to try the crutches on my own.

I have Precice 2.2 and I stand on both my legs all the time, albeit not for longer than 2-3 minute intervals (brushing teeth, taking x-rays, taking a shower) and have had no problems.

Yes dude you have 2 legs and standing on both of your legs isnt offloading more than 50% of your weight (minus some unintentional swaying). That's the same answer I gave.

Thanks for sharing your journey.

Would you choose a weight bearing nail if it’s available?
