No.. not the kind that Richie or Bergs is always asking about... bone healing specific to a femur.
It's been ~10 months and two surgeries since my femur decided it needed a break from being functional. The doc's have officially deemed it a non-union and I go back for additional surgery on the 17th of this month. The damn thing just. won't. heal.
They're going to unscrew the distal screws and slide hammer out the 16" rod that's in the center of the femur and then plate the bone adding somewhere between 6-10 screws. Bone graft will come from the hip and hopefully help stimulate cell growth in the marrow and surrounding tissue.
So.. for you folks that have broken major bones like this... tricks? tips? Chinese herbs to snort? I'm already on enough supplements to treat an elephant (2,000 IU's of vitamin D, Calcium 3x a day, Ostrophin PMG, Calcifood, etc) and hooked up to a bone stimulator for 10 hours a day. Other ideas? Hell, does GMD have any special tools for this?
Thanks,
Fitz
