18.7 Months After Tibia Surgery – Physical Therapy Progress
February 3, 2024 – 18.7 Months After Tibia Surgery. It’s time for another physical therapy progress video. I am ready to remove my tibia Precice 2.2 nails in less than 2 months from now. Here are my current stages of my leg lengthening journey.
- After Femur Rod Removal
- Ready for Tibia Rod Removal
- 18.7 months after tibia lengthening surgery
- 16.5 months into consolidation
- 3.6 months after femur rod removal
My main goal at this stage is to improve my stamina before I work on other areas of athletics, such as running, heavy weight lifting with the legs, and jumping. See my video for more details.
Tibia X-rays 15.7 Months In Consolidation – January 8, 2024
My doctor’s appointment with X-rays was January 8, 2024. I’m 15.7 months in the consolidation phase and 17.9 months after tibial lengthening surgery (aka limb lengthening surgery or leg lengthening surgery) with the Precice 2.2 nails. This has nothing to do with my femur rod removal surgery over 2 months ago. I am fully recovered from my femur rod removal surgery.
This appointment is to determine if my tibias are consolidated enough and ready for tibia rod removal surgery. My right tibia was ready for rod removal over a few months ago, but there was one area in my left tibia that was not ready yet.
Is my left tibia finally consolidated enough? Am I ready for tibia rod removal surgery? I answer these questions in this video.
