Hi all.
Tha saga of my femur continues! I returned from my holiday at the end of January to have follow up exrays from the latest surgery (June) involving insertion of plate and 13 screws to hold and support femur. I had been experiencing pain while away and needed walking stick to get around. Xrays showed three screws had broken and plate had come away from bone in area where broken bone had still not fused. When surgeon (I requesed another surgeon) went in to do a bone graft he discovered the bone was in fact dead! He had to cut out 5cm bone and then do graft, consequently leaving me with na shorter leg!! He also removed the plate which he said was doing nothing. I am glad I changed surgeons as I like that he has taken a diiferent approach.
Hoping that take 3 works!!
