fear of non-union
« on: March 07, 2024, 05:02:06 PM »

Hey,

I am planning to do Tibias with Becker in 2025. My height is just below average at 169cm, so I am planning to do 5cm Tibias and then depending on the proportions the femurs aswell.

I have read a lot before registering here and seen that there is a risk with non union in the fibulas. Do you guys think paying for a cosmetic insurance is worth it to treat the case of non union if it were to happen ? Also, is there any way to check if your bones have high risk of non-union ?

Thanks

I'd say get ur protein shakes and calcium intake 2 months before surgery and continue on daily after surgery.  Helps alot.
