Hi MyEvolution,
Congrats in your two LL. It's great to read someone doing tibias with Stryde.
I have some questions if you'd mind to answer:
1) Which diameter of Stryde you have on your tibias (10mm, 11mm, 13mm?)
2) Can you walk without crutches during lengthening? or just with crutches?

That's pretty impressive. Awesome! 
I had consultation with both Mahboubian and Betz last month about tibia (I did femurs years ago with Betz) but your case seems to confirm that we can walk without crutches faster with Stryde than with Betzbone.
Do you know which Stryde nail size you have?
I'd have to use the 10mm in my tibias according to Dr. Mahboubian, so I'm worried I won't be able to walk without crutches as soons as the other patients.

Update: Just passed 5.5Cm guys tomorrow i have a doctors appt to see if i can go to 6.5cm wish me luck
here is the promised walking video, this was recorded november 14th aprox 2 months post op
also this is THE best slant board hands down
if you can stretch on the highest level without cheating you can go to 8cm in tibias

Wow your walk looks incredible, and you also look really tall.
How tall are you currently barefoot?
I know you mentioned Femurs being harder, do you still feel that way?
Amazing how how hard work makes the difference.
Evolution, I solute you.
