Title: External fixator removal question
Post by: Unknown on August 09, 2023, 11:55:58 AM

Hi, after you finish LON tibias lengthening phase, how long do you usually wait before you remove the external fixators?

Don't hang me up on this. But I think it's usually after 30 days of the lengthening period so about 3-4 months after surgery.

3-7 days. I removed mine 2 days after I finished.
