Yeah with 3 small wires below the knee and one just above the ankle
Quote from: Michael01 on October 02, 2019, 07:32:14 PMDo you think for someone doing tibia, it's better stryde than HEF?
Will you do LATN or stay with frames for the whole consolidation time?
Could you post a picture of your frames later?
I will have to stay with frames the whole time, there are pro and cons for doing pure external vs LATN and Stryde but i think if done by a reputable doctor, LATN and Stryde is always better, having frames for like 8 months straight is not a joke, is 4 months now and i can’t wait to get rid of them already.

So what will be the final result in your case precisely?
Could you move all by yourself through the city using public transports?

I don’t know yet but 5cm for sure, maybe slighty more.
For your second question, there is no way i can go outside the city and doing stuff, i can walk with crutches inside my home but i get tired really quickly.

Do you think you get tired because the frames are heavy? Or it would be the same with stryde?
I think if you will do LATN/LON, it's better to do stryde (preferable in femur) anyway. You will have the risk of knee pain and one more surgery to take the rod out, but you will never need with frames and you can reverse lengthening anytime.
You may stay longer than 8 months in frames, but you will see, in a short time you will be walking normal again with no pain/discomfort and your height neurosis will be cured. Now, you just need to wait.

No you get tired cause you are sore, btw from the last X Rays Dr Pili said i should be done in 7 months, apparently my bone regeneration is above average

Wow, man, if this happens it will be extraordinary! Are you doing anything special (exercise, diet, supplement, walking too much) or is it just luck? And you are 33.
