So i have a a diary on this forum but i will do a wuick recap for people that didn't read it.

Right now i'm 3 months in with my LL with Dr Pili using external method and after 2 months instead turning 3 times at day for 0,75mm i started turning 2 times for a total amount of 0,5mm and i was supposed to reach about 5,5 cm in both legs right now.
Yesterday i met Dr Pili and apparently for some reason my right leg stopped to lenght at 4cm and he dosn't know why and he dosn't even understands if i'm preconsolidated or not even if he says that probably i'm not cause i'm "still soft" but not that much, right now he just told me to turn 2 times for 8 days my left leg and 3 times for 20 days my right leg.

My question is, by looking at my X-Rays, do you think i got a premature consolidation on my right leg?

He said at worst we will have to shorten my left leg and settle for 4cm which is not the worst but for 20k, a year of my life and all that pain is kind of sad

Seems like you were lengthening way too slow. Tibias seemed fused to me. Your doctor should have kept a better track of your xrays and made you lengthen faster once he seen the bones were fusing to avoid this.

Like both fused? We take X-Rays every month, this time after 45 days and the last time everything was fine. The fact that he didn’t know what happened either and wasn’t sure, makes me thing about the worst possible outcome.

Considering i never stopped lenghting but just slowed down, wasn’t i supposed to feel something if i got preconsolidation? Also the Ex Fix never stop to lenghten, like isn’t it supposed to get stuck?
