External Fixator Removal Informations
« on: September 18, 2020, 10:36:03 AM »
Hello community! ;D

I come to you in search of information that could help me.
I had the operation via an external fixator on a LON method.
I now want to remove my external fixer in my own home country and am looking for additional information that might help me.
I'm looking for any information about a potential name / reference / ideas that would be linked to the rod in the bone that maintains it.

Thank you so much!

either way you should be able to get this done no problem
most likely would we  an elective procudure, probably a day case.

im pretty sure it should be covered by medicare
