Its a weird one but apparently full weight bearing on thibia means that people get back to walking without support in 3-4 weeks after surgery. I have seen some stories of people traveling the world while lengthening betzbone on thibia. Normal walking apparently does 90% of tehstretch work on that section of the leg.
Do your research pleas, consult the doctors rather reading Weird Cinderalla Stories.
Tibias LL is more complicated than Femur and thus the cost of surgery is higher.
You can still travel and work with Betz nail, walking with crutches for limited distance and stability.
This is applicable to both Femur and Tibias
Most Patients go home after 3-4 weeks post surgery and continue normal life like working, driving and etc.
Normal walking without any support after 2-3 weeks is a joke if you think it is possible.
The gait is totally out without crutches.
Be cautious and aware of ankle screw, not to overstess and end up broken with complication.
Doctor always advise you to walk with crutches.
