Do surgeons generally allow you to get xrays done at whatever center you want?
« on: August 17, 2023, 05:00:39 PM »
Or must they be done at whichever clinic they practice at?

I know most price packages include the x-rays in the price, but is it generally acceptable to source somewhere nearer you when you go home for the consolidation phase, and simply send the xrays remotely to the Dr however often they're needed?

Thanks!

Normal to send x-rays during consolidation at home.
Wise to be near doctor while lengthening in case of nail bend, break, or other complication.
