Title: Tibia Lengthening
Post by: marathonrunner on August 15, 2019, 12:28:07 PM

Hi Everyone,

Just had surgery on the 10th (precice stryde for tibia), so its been 5 days so far. For those who have done tibia lengthening, does it feel really stiff/tight near the shins? For me when I walk with crutches or stand (supported) to do things my shins feel really tight, actually the shins and the knee cap. Those 2 areas feel really tight.

Why did you do tibia?

Well, I'm planning to do both. Tibia takes longer to recover so doing this one first.

Anyone that has done tibia lengthening experienced more bruising in 1 leg compared to the other?

What does your doctor say about that?
