if I want to grow to 5 centimetres in the tibai..how do they...
« on: January 06, 2015, 07:09:04 AM »
How do the surgeons stop you from growing anymore? Do they somehow block the nail from it growing any further?

Cause i know it takes around 8-10 weeks to grow up to 5 centimetres. After that, the doctors will let me go back home. And from there, do I go back home with a walker or do I walk all by myself?

Thanks.

They calibrate the nail in advance to only lengthen a certain amount.

Whether you're using a walker or not at the end of lengthening depends on whether you're using a weight-bearing nail or not.
