so six months to walk again. but how long to walk with a normal gait?

Edit Post

anyone here who's done it and can share their experience?
Are you walking normally now? and how long did it take you

Edit Post

It will depend on how much you lengthen.

Highly individual.
about 1 year 3 months since my fixator removal, still not walking anywhere close to normal, can't run for  .
Waiting on a date to get my internal rods removed, hopefully that will make me able to start trying to run but we'll see.
My case had complications though, obviously as it was in Turkey.

Any info from people who did internal precise nails in the femurs? ...trying to decide, thank you

The norm is 8 months. about 3 months lengthening, 3 months full weight bearing consolidation, and 2 months to normal gait. And then from them it's just progressively getting
stamina back.

This is in an ideal normal situation. 7 months if you're a good bone healer. and prob 9 months if you deal with complications like me. One of my nails malfunctioned so I have a surgery scheduled next week to get it replaced. I'm prob more like 4 months lengthening and 2.5 months consolidation.

I know someone with a weight-bearing nail who had fast consolidation and was walking with a normal gait within 5 months from surgery.

8 months for non weight bearing nails. 6 months is the norm for weight bearing nails

Hey, where in Turkey did you go if you don’t mind me asking?

So when can I start walking without a weight bearing nail (Precice) with a not perfect gait? 5 months in?

Edit Post

1 year after removal femur and still not walking with normal gait, its slowly getting better, but apparently very slow

Muscles don't seems so "weak" because I can do a lot of squats, and Drs. say that my bone is well no problem there

Is this 1 year something in the normal range and somehow "acceptable"? Am I still expected to heal?
