External femur Salemfix
« on: January 13, 2015, 07:57:13 PM »
It seems that Salemfix has a different external femur device that works with people who have actual hip problems

what would be the success rate.

I'd stay away from external femurs if I were you. They often seem to have a lot of problems.

How are you?

There is no permanent complications as long as the device is placed properly and you do 5 cm.
Dr. Slameh has experience doing extenal femur so the chances you have complications are probably none.

The cost for Salemfix external femur is $30,000 euro for the operation.

My surgeon said maybe 2 or 3 cm is okay for external femur, but beyond that the stretching puts a big load on the external device. The muscles surrounding the femur are also crossed when using exfix and it's going to lead to bad scars. Would be a better idea to save up and go internals for femurs.

My surgeon said that 5cm was the max he'd do for external femurs.
