First 14 days - recovery from surgery, walking stairs and about 200-500 m on crutches
4 weeks - extend your range to about 1-2 km walking. Train to walk without crutches
8 weeks - walking without crutches should be possible, if you focus - almost normal gait pattern. If not, wobbeling gait (normal during the lengthening period)
9 weeks - you reached 5 cm and could decide to stop (or go on, dependent on your performance/recovery/feeling)
12 weeks - if you stopped at 9weeks, almost fully recovery is expectable.

ONLY IF you reach all goals above ( which would be the best case scenario )
if you have any pain level issue or unable to walk as long , sleeping problem  ETC . it will take longer to heal .

some people recover faster than others , some slower .

I have seen people walking without assist 4 months after surgery , precise 2.2 , non weight bearing . He did 8 CM too ..guy was in his early 20s and very active too .

very few fast recovery cases thou ..

Sure....but theres a difference between walking without assist and not looking like you just got hit by a car.  At 12 weeks I cant imagine you look normal.

For 5cm this is possible. But at week 8 you will walk with crutches in public. Only at home you might not need to use them at this time.

recovered means that you can walk okayish and without crutches and can do most normal things.
Obviously sports and stuff like that is out of the picture. I would say for 5cm that‘s possible after half a year at the earliest.

Hey, do you mean 8 weeks from the surgery or 8 weeks after the lengthening period has finished?

this
I have read almost all betz diaries , and none of them were walking outside without crutches at 8 weeks

How could you walk without assistance 4 months post op with precice? The lengthening period is 3 months alone there is no way he'd walk with no bones and just the precice nails unless he is 50lbs.

What shoe brand was it? I’m trying to get one for myself.
