Quote from: Dozer on July 23, 2015, 03:50:56 PMYeah, I need to lengthen 7.5 cms.
I can't bend much, like 30-40 degrees. Well, it was the same the previous round. I worked it out after removing the frames. It's only a temporary problem.
I can't bend so much as well, that's making me a little worry.
You can bend the previous femur 180 degrees ?

Well no one can bend 180 degrees, but I was able to bend it 160 degrees or so, close to the limit. Right now I have the tibia frame, so I can't bend it fully because of the top ring.

You did great work to regain full flexion. do you remember how long you take until you are able to bend 160 degrees ?

3 to 4 months. I guess you can do in 2 if you work harder.

I hope so Dozer.

Hi dozer, I did latn femurs. Before taking off the external fixators, I could bend only about 50 degrees. As soon as after they were taken of they suddenly rise up to about 70'. Now it's been 10 days post operation and they are like 80'.But I feel like the progress is slowing down as it had been 80' since about 5 days post operation. Is it normal. I am worried that I won't get my full Roms back or if I m not approaching in a right way.
Can u please share how you worked on yours?
Ps: when lying on my back it is way less than in sitting position, did u experience it too?

I don't think you should worry about it. It's hard to notice progress in such short period of time (5 days), give it a few weeks and you should see difference. At 80 degrees ROM what I did is just lie down on my back then cross one leg with another so the tibia is hanging acting as a weight, but I had one leg which I could bend. When I got to 110-120 degrees I started using my hands pulling the tibia to the femur.
QuotePs: when lying on my back it is way less than in sitting position, did u experience it too?No, but tt's way less when I lie on my stomach.
Thanks alot dozer
