As Precise Max will be similar to Stryde (weight bearing).
How fast you guys started walking with crutches or without?
Was it during lengthening or after?

I'm trying to understand how many weeks/months are needed from day 1 (surgery) to be able to walk (go shopping, walk around apartment etc).

From my understanding you can begin walking almost immediately after surgery with crutches. To walk without them takes about 2 months.

Looks promising. Looking at the information about this, per leg at the minimum nail diameter of 10mm is 95lbs per leg. So does that mean it's 190lbs for total bodyweight? Cause that's pretty impressive, it'll really help with PT if you're able to walk without worry breaking the nail.

How long would it take to walk normally (go to office without people noticing anything) if doing +4cm on Tibia with precice 2, or then if using precice max?

[Robert Adam]

f you lengthen your tibia by 5 cm, you need 66 days (0.75 mm/day). If you lengthen the femur by 8 cm, you need 80 days (1 mm/day). Both bones will fuse after 2 months.

[Robert Adam]

If you lengthen both the tibia and femur, you do it slower. Tibial 0.5 mm/day, femur 0.75 mm/day. Both bones will fuse after 2 months. Generally, you need half a year to get back on your feet.
