Uneven legs after LON femur

Edit Post

Did you have bowl legs before surgery? It seemed they might have cut too high causing the top bones to curve out..

I did not. I know they’re curved now. lucky, you can’t really tell in real life. is visible only in x-rays. hopefully this won’t affect my gait. hopefully they’ll straighten a little bit with consolidation. 

i’m trying to wait longer for my next x-rays because i believe i did way to many when i had the surgery.

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeet
yeah it will affect your gait
it will affect your hips, spine, knees and everything will undergo unnecessary overuse and premature aging because of this
no it will not straight out with consolidation

just wait until consolidated and get this fixed with a single surgery to correct both legs

they will go in there, pull out the nails, cut into the side of your legs to reach to the bone, saw a wedge in your bone, reposition it and affix it with a plate

you will have 2 big 4ss scars on the side of your legs from the plate installation but it is what it is buddy boyo

The unexpected curves may have contributed to the discrepancy in your legs. Who was your doctor/hospital ?
