It's been 2 months since the surgery, and metal is just holding my arm together. While Im gaining range of mobility weekly, I also need this healed!! Thanks.

I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy." Romans {9:20} But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, "Why did you make me like this?" {9:21} Or hasn't the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel for honor, and another for dishonor?

Has your doctor prescribed a bone stimulator for you? If not get another doctor. (orthopaedic)There are two types, one is electronic and the other works like an ultrasound.
Marys27 Posts: 1187 (10/23/02 7:11 pm) Reply	Re: prayer Bone stimulator??? No clue what that is. He is going to xray it again, like the 7th time...on Nov. 7th. He didnt say what he'd do if non-union occured. So I did some research today. Normally, if non-union is present after 6 months post osteotomy then they perform a "step-cut" osteotomy at the former site. That alone with a bone graft taken from the pelvis. I'm REALLY hoping it doesn't come to that. The type of surgery I had has been done by VERY few surgeons. He has done one other. I'm very happy for the work he's done, he's a great doctor. The fact that I'm not healing the way im supposed to isn't his fault. There was a 5-10% chance of non-union of the humerous. The recovery for that would be similar to the recovery im doing now...They'd have to move the tricep, and go through alot of nerves, and remove all the metal and pins they placed in my arm. I REALLY hope they dont have to do this again. Not to mention, the cost. The hospital he did the surgery in is not part of our insurance, and the insurance didn't cover $6,100 of the surgery.

If your doctor is not an orthopaedic surgeon and he has not brought this device to your attention you need to get a second opinion. Most insurances will pay for you to do so before you get more surgery.

My doctor is one of the best Orthopedists in the state. He specializes in only hands, wrists, and elbows. He went to Harvard and practiced at the Mayo Clinic. His credentials are outstanding. Believe me, I just didn't pick a doctor out of the air to do this surgery. Its almost scary, he's very intelligent, very compassionate, and really good looking...its rare to find the first two attributes in a physician, let alone the third.

Eric --------------Just a signature------------------------ Romans 9:22 What if God, although willing to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction? I Samuel 15:2 "Thus says the LORD of hosts, 'I will punish Amalek for what he did to Israel, how he set himself against him on the way while he was coming up from Egypt. 3 'Now go and strike Amalek and utterly destroy all that he has, and do not spare him; but put to death both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.'"
