Question 1

what is the safest time frame for a bone to completely heal from a taylor's bunionectmy without questioning whether to start walking on your foot?

Accepted Answer

Bone healing: For a typical healthy patient it usually takes 6-8 weeks for bone to heal fully.  If you do have an osteotomy (bone cut) this can be the expected recovery time.  If it i'd simply a bone shaving you may be able to walk 2-3 days after surgery.

Question 2

broken fibula & tibia in 99. leg length discrepancy of 1.5" but only tibia is short. fibula bowing. problems feet up. pursue taylor spatial frame?

Accepted Answer

Other options?: You're 30 and no longer growing, problem won't get worse. A 3/4" heel lift on your shorter leg may resolve most issues. If not, surgery to lengthen the short tibia with external device is possible but results may not be worth the effort to get there. You really need to discuss with orthopedics your current issues with shorter leg and if they will resolve with surgery.

Tarlov Cyst: This is a pouch of spinal fluid and nerve formed outside of the spinal canal, but may erode into the bone near the spinal canal. These are usually asymptomatic unless large >1.5cm. Treatment is after a diagnosis of exclusion—if all else fails, nothing else evident, and >1.5 cm, then surgery may be successful. Again, usually not symptomatic. This is a blemish on the nerves like a mole on the skin.
