Can doctors use bone graft instead of metal rod?

Hello I am interested in doing a limb lengthening surgery but I have a fear of inserting a metal rod can doctors also have an option to insert a bone graft(which is from another donor) so that it will be more good for PPL

Answered on 12th Dec '24

Although metal rods are often used in this process, I understand that patients may be very apprehensive. Bone grafts from donors can also be a choice, but they are scarce and depend on the case. The method of this type of treatment is to promote natural growth that will be fully integrated into your body. It is important to consider all options with a skilled orthopedic surgeon, so that they can thoroughly assess your situation and suggest the best approach.

My mother's leg has been swollen for almost a year since she started sitting at the shop, but when she stays at home the swelling goes away...why

Female | 45

Your mom may have peripheral edema, which can cause swelling in her legs. For example, sitting still for too long can cause fluid to accumulate in her legs, leading to swelling. This happens because sitting reduces blood circulation. When she's at home and moving around, the swelling reduces because movement helps the fluid flow back up. Encouraging her to take short walks or do leg exercises while at the shop can help reduce the swelling.

Hello, today I had a deep massage session for my chest and stomach. The pain was horrible in my chest. Till now I can feel it in my bones when I move, so I’m just concerned about the pain. Is it normal? I tried to get up minutes before and I felt dizziness in my eyes and I couldn’t see clearly, I also felt coldness in my fingers and heard noises in my ears It was just for seconds

Female | 20

It's not normal to feel terrible chest pain after having a massage. Dizziness, blurred vision, cold hands and noises in the ears are not good signs following a massage. This could happen if certain areas were pressed during the massage or if blood circulation was affected. You should take a break, drink some water and use a warm cloth to calm your muscles down. Seek medical help if the symptoms continue or become worse.

Toenail is broken by bike stand

Male | 25

Your toenail got broken by the bike stand. You may see a bruise, pain, and swelling in the area. The toenail might also be damaged. To help, make sure to wash the area, use a bandage, and watch for signs of infection. If you want to, you can take painkiller medicine. The most important thing is to let it heal naturally.

Painful swollen foot in 85 y old lady since 20 days after possible eversion injury Treated conservatively with walking air cast but little improvement Your kind opinion

Female | 85

An outward roll of the ankle may cause immediate pain and swelling, so an eversion injury is likely. There could be mild fractures or other problems missed by the initial examination or X-rays. I would advise you to get it checked again, if not much progress has been made in the next 3 weeks even while using an air cast for support.

Sir have pain in left knee It was showing as acl sprain and Hyper Lesion on pcl then it mention as gamglion

Female | Ranganayagi

Your symptoms – pain, an ACL sprain – suggest one thing: there’s been some injury there. Hyperextension of the PCL or even just having a ganglion cyst could also cause trouble with movement and make things uncomfortable in general. But don’t worry – rest up that joint, apply some ice on it, and listen to whatever the doctor says needs doing.

My mother is suffering from arthritis for decades. She has twisted toes, fingers and other joints. do you have som program for arthritis patients.

Female | 66

This disease causes the joints to become sore and start to become stiff. Swollen fingers and toes are usual symptoms. Arthritis occurs when the cushion located in a joint degenerate. It can be a result of aging, an old injury, or the genetic background. To assist, your mother can engage in some light exercising, eat healthy food, and take medication prescribed by a doctor.

i am a 15 year old female ,i have been having knee pain for almost a year,i have visited a doc who gave me intamine cream and a compressor but its getting worse

Female | 15

You should consult an orthopedist. Various factors such as injury, overuse, or underlying medical conditions can lead to knee pain. An orthopedic doctor will assess your condition and prescribe an appropriate course of treatment. If the treatment is delayed, this may lead to worsening of condition.
