Is his doctor really a top notch surgeon who has done this surgery successfully for years? If not, I would find one who specializes in these type malunion corrections. Don't let just any orthopod do this procedure.
I so pray this works for him and he can become mobile and work again. Being a man, I know he's bound to be stir crazy by now! I think you have real hope here. |
We both really like the doctor. And it was a mess so it has came along way. We are in Rochester in one of the very best hospitals in our area. People come from all over to doctor here. So hopefully we are doing the right thing. Just is taken a lot of time. Sure wish I would win the lottery
. The foot itself looks amazing it is just the inside that is healing slow. Doctor is worried about all the arthritis already and feels this will make that better. And taking everything out he is going to have to be extremely careful not to rebreak. And he does have a small hole that is leaking maybe a inner infection. So may have to come home with a IV for awhile. He has had it since the beginning so he was not worried about that till now. So I guess time will tell
