3 days after the fixator removal surgery everything felt good, 7 days ROM has returned to near normal. now its all about strengthening for the next 15 days to support a second surgery .. femur is a bit tight but with proper physio tightness is going away quicky. also i have a mild 2cm  ballerina.. working real hard on it..

hey guys, second surgery is scheduled around 18-20th of this month... am making reasonable progress though things will become perfect only after the second surgery of cross lengthening.. uploading a video of my walking right now.. as you can see ballerina is completely gone in the tibia leg. also the range of motions in all the segments have become completely normal in both the legs which is a requisite to undergo the second surgery. by the time fixators of second surgery will be removed hopefully these bones consolidate so that my recovery will be much smoother..

second surgery is scheduled on 21st nov. was scheduled earlier, but  i had issues related to payment and had to postpone. the team was kind enough to schedule and plan the surgery on a sunday for my convenience.. anyways,if things go according to plan  its about 8 weeks by the time i will have my fixators off which will be the biggest thing in my ll journey..since after that road to recovery is pretty straight forward

walked completely unassisted, since i wanted to do that before second surgery.. gait was a bit bad but it boosts up the confidence levels and positive vibe a lot. hopefully i wii have the same recovery timeframe for the second surgery also...

To people who did with precise 2 or lon, based on my x-rays is it good enough bridging for complete weight bearing?

femur, similar to the first step is pretty uncomortable.. i think it will take an other week for the femur to get a good degree of flexion and have  a smooth distraction. for all potential llers be very strong for the first 10 days in femur surgery

transitioned from surgical pain to muscle pain.. hematoma which was formed due bleeding from cortex in the left tibia has almost resolved.. hematomas are so painful especially on movement..

started distracting yesterday..

knee flexion is not as good as the first surgery this time.but expecting it to improve with physiotherapy. rest of the things are going good.. wishing for a faster removal of frames so that my ROM will be completely restored.

hey people, things are going good. i am really happy for reaching almost the end of this external fixator journey without experiencing any major complications.  as expected my removal is on track by 10th jan of this month subject to the availabilty of the surgeon .will probably get a confirmed date within a day or two. muscle loss is very apparent and my focus would be on gaining as much flexibility and strength as possible.. but otherwise things have been fine.

attaching my final xrays before removal. if any the next xray will only be on the day of removal in the hospital.
