For Precise 2.2 tibias, how low should your weight be for weight bearing?
« on: September 23, 2022, 09:24:22 PM »
Maybe weight bearing isn't the right word, but like what is a good weight range to decrease the chances of overloading the Precise 2.2 nail with your weight?

I think I can realistically get to 150 pounds (68 kg) one day, maybe 140 pounds (63.5) if I try really hard

It’s good to be in shape before the surgery, but honestly no one can get thin enough to walk on 50 lbs tibial nails. I honestly spent of the time on crutches putting most of the weight on my good leg and either hopping or doing toe touch steps.

Well I'm about 110 pounds, so if I do get the 12.5 nails, I hope my recovery is better due to an better chance to weight bear.
