13 cm in one year LON (6.5 femur + 6.5 tibia)

Edit Post

who said u had to be a year in frames but in most cases the dr does that to prevent bone non union depending on callus formation though the dr will give u the green light for frame removal earlier than expected or u might have to wait awhile thats why i said it's individual also lengthening period dictates how much longer ud be in frames some docs do 1mm a day other lower. and what did u mean by spending the last 3 months doing PT? cause you need to do PT during lengthening

Not in frames. But the first comment said that walking normal after 13 cm lengthening in one year is unrealistic. I wanted to know why of I can get out of frames so quickly. And do "more intensive" pt while frames are off to help my muscles adjust quicker.

he probably meant you cant do two segments in a year's time with both segments being consolidated

Ok then, but will be able to move freely and unaided?

Edit Post

yeah most can do things unaided after the first two weeks
