Say slightly physical jobs, like waitering, bartender etc. How long to recover from Tibias lengthening before you can work again?

[Medium Drink Of Water]

Depends on how much you lengthen.

[Unknown]

Lets say for 5cm or 6cm? Whats the average recovery time for each?

Its possible with a weight bearing internal nail to not look totally stupid at 4 months.  But you're not going to be 100%.  It will look like you tweaked your back and are walking stiff.  Thats about the best it gets from what I've seen.

Took me nine months after I stopped lengthening for most of the tightness, nerve pain go away and walk 100% normal. I lengthened 80mm

To clarify I did femurs
