Returning to Athletic lifestyle
« on: January 22, 2020, 02:43:53 AM »
Hey guys, before I do LL with Dr Salameh i would like you to ask wether:

7cm on tibias (externak)

or 8-8.5 cm on femurs

will allow me to return back to a athetic lifestyle (running, leg training, squats, swimming).

I know the risks and  both are dangerouse but i think i am young and ambitious so I can make it.

If you go to a good doctor, they don't fk you up and set your mind to it and work hard to recover, then yes. I can already jog a bit, swim, squat, and will start leg training soon at the gym with light weights at 5 months and 3 weeks post op

respect man. You have enough money to do Stryde,
I will do LON femur probably. Do you still think light leg training is possible after about 6 months? I will ask the doctor soon, but I think some doctors are lying trying not to scare the patients...

The fact that your femurs have more muscles around them could be trouble for external devices.  Avoiding external femurs is about more than pain.

If you mean 6 months after removing the externals, sure, that will likely be fine as long as everything is going well for you.

Except for pain why would you avoid externals?
Everyone here screams that over 5 cm is too risky for tibias, but femurs can "easily" do it. So why not externals on femur, if you can endure the pain?
