Question about consolidation
« on: July 19, 2023, 12:33:28 PM »
I think this question is a bit naive, but can consolidation of the bone start while during the lenghtening and interfere with the lenghtening process? If so, can this affect your planned lenghtening goal (example: consolidation starts at 4 cm, while your goal was 6 cm during the lenghtening)?

So yes, you can say I am striving for average. 🙃

It starts right away. Body does not wait for you to reach 4cm to repair it self. Thats why there is something called early union.

What can you do to prevent it? Like lenghtening a certain amount a day or something like that?

you're not gonna get early consolidation unless you stop lengthening for weeks lol. Maybe the first 2 cm it's more likely but when you're past that, it's gonna take your bone months to harden where you wont early consolidate unless you're superman or if you decide to take a long time off

Generally, femoral lengthening rate is 1mm/day and tibia lengthening rate is 0.75mm/day.
X-rays are evaluated periodically by the surgeon, and if there are signs of early consolidation, the surgeon increases the lengthening rate.
If you see a good surgeon, you shouldn't worry too much about early consolidation.
I think that delayed consolidation is much more common in actual treatment.
