My nephew left this broken bone untreated for 6 weeks, had surgery 3 months ago to put a pin in the bone with a bone graft. CT scan a month ago indicated that no new bone was evident. He has been using a magnetic bone stimulator for a month now.
One doctor said another surgery with a vascular graft may be necessary, only successful 50% of the time. Nephew must wait another month to see if bone stimulator is working, possibly triggering more bone atrophy.
Using Fluther
