Sorry to hear that you have to rebreak bone,
however it’s not that big issue, surely I believe you’ll accomplish your goal with your strong will 
For this rebreaking surgery, may I ask how much do they charge?
Are there any diaries out there about re beaking? I would be lieng if I said im not at least a little nervous tbh
My re break is scheduled in 4 days i have no clue how ill b walking right after
I jus took a video of my curent walk so i can compare but hoping its not too big of a set back
They r re breaking + changing the rod
I’ve been lengthening my left at 2x (0.5mm) slowly as well
I have 7 more days of that and my left will officially be at 7cm
At that point i am hoping that while i focus on my right and give my left time off, it will loosen up to the point where i can safetly continue the left to 8cm with the right
This has been one of the hardest things i’ve ever had to fight for
Just when i thought i’d be at 8cm 2 weeks from now, that date got pushed back by 1.5months
But it’s SO worth it to me and still not too far off so I have to keep battling
Btw i have been thinking of making a patreon where i post exclusive videos for you guys going in depth on any Q&A’s you might have. If u support this idea let me know & if enough people want it i’ll do it
I remember what it was like to be in the 5’4’s and reading this forum on the other side hoping this was all real and worth it
It is, there is a hope my brothers
It is so worth it! It will be okay, MyEvolution. It will ALL be okay. Keep.Going.Strong.
Hi MyEvolution,
I also had a rebreak and change of nail because of premature consolidation. It wasn't traumatic and in fact as a precaution I was lengthening the day after the surgery. In my case the new osteotomy site was more distal than the previous one. I recently looked at my xrays and the original site is fully consolidated and the new site is more or less consolidated too. I had the rebreak in September last year. I am sure it will go well for you too.
Good luck!
How painful was it and did it set you back?
Currently i’m not using any walking assistance. Will I be back to a cane, on crutches? Etc
It took me pretty much 3 months post Op to be able to walk with no assistance. I guess im tryna see if it’ll be like, another 3 months post op to walk properly
Oh, interesting - I thought you had to atleast use the cain through part of consolidation.
Hi MyEvolution
You will be fine!
Can I ask why they have to change the nail when you rebreak, and how much they will charge it again? thanks
Does anyone know how common the chance for premature consolidation is? Is there a way to prevent this? All my best to you MyEvolution, really unfortunate but hope the surgery and recovery goes well

It was not painful but that could be because I had a good supply of pain killers. However, I did need to stay in hospital longer than the original surgery - about 10 nights as I had become quite weak and it would have been difficult to cope on my own.
Because the surgeon at the time was not sure as to why the lengthening had not worked I was asked to stay on crutches for the entire duration of lengthening. After lengthening I was able to walk unassisted in about 6 weeks.
