Quote from: jfk on October 01, 2015, 02:03:41 PMOn one hand it is good, but did you also think about the patient being able to say the whole truth about the doctor and the process?
Maybe the patient will keep bad things about the doctor or complications for himself because he knows that the doctor reads in here.
The patient is dependent on the doctor and needs him. Probably the patient is more careful what he is saying about him.
Imagine the patient has a problem and thinks it is the doctors fault. Would he say that in here although he knows that the doctor would be angry with him? Would you want your doctor that has to fix complications and is responsible for your health to be angry with you? Just something to think about...
True but patients could come out with the truth after the process is over.

how is pain / discomfort now?
3 during the day and 4 at night but Im feeling a burning sensation in the tibia since i hit 1.9/2cm that causes a lot of discomfort. It is position dependant . In some possitions i dont feel it .and i think that is caused by nerve stretching . But yesterday and today this has been getting better and i havent felt it too much
Great progress so far KrP1.
I was wondering what the recovery path is like for the Fitbone--am deciding between Birkholtz or Monegal. I read in another diary that you can have a titanium sheet inserted into the Fitbone for greater weightbearing during the consolidation phase. Is that an option with Monegal?

That would be amazing if it were an option!

I dont know about that option. Doctor Monegal could tell you about that. But i have seen people doing full weightbearing during consolidation with fitbone and without any problem.
Hi KrP1.
Did Dr. Monegal insert the fitbone retrograde (from the knee)? Rather than anterograde (from the hip)?
If so, what do you think about risks of knee pain and patellofemoral arthritis from the drilling of the femur around the kneecap?
