Going Downstairs and walking without crutches
« on: April 18, 2021, 11:33:16 AM »

Hi everyone,

it has been 8 weeks since my tibial frame removal(LON) and 16 weeks since the initial surgery.
I can go upstairs without crutches(but i usually use still one of my hands) but to go downstairs i need absolutely a support(one of my hands, one crutch+one hand). I can also walk without crutches but slower than normal(I can walk 1- 1,2km in about 20 mins, i havent tried to walk longer yet).

I wanted to ask you guys,.especially who had Tibia LON, how it normally takes to go up/downstairs without any help and to reach a normal walking speed or even to be able to walk faster than normal.

Thanks in advance for the replies

Unfortunately the same answer as lots of questions: Depends on your body and how much you lengthened. :(
