progress report
C, Thanks for the progress report. I was in the OR this am pulling H.O. out of a young mans hip. It was very mature and fully integrated with the muscle tissue and bone in and around the joint. It was a double edged (no pun intended) surgery, take too much out and loose function secondary to muscle trauma, not enough and you don't regain any function. We did radiate him prior to taking him to the OR. Sounds like you're getting very reasonable results with the porgram you're on. The calcaneous is a booger to heal. Was the fracture intra articular? Meaning did it go through the joint of just crush the body of the bone? My wife had one several years ago and my partner screwed it back together, put her in a short leg cast and was not allowed to touch the foot to the ground for 3 months. Rehab afterward was a long row to hoe but thankfully it healed nicely. How's your son these days?
