It's full weight-bearing.

Do those Russian doctors you asked use something other than full-ring Ilizarov frames?

It's the opposite of what I'd expect.  I'm thinking the Russians you talked to are being very careful while the Turks are overly optimistic.

It doesn't make sense... circular frames allow FWB whereas monolaterals do not.
