Dealing with a tib/fib non union and I was curious if anyone has dealt with these issues long term. I was originally injured around 11 months ago, and the pain in my leg just drives me crazy some times.
Currently using a bone stimulator @ 3 hrs a day, but I honestly can't tell if it's working or not(my next Ortho appt is in 2 weeks). Honestly I feel a little hopeless at times, and it can be a little hard to cope.
When I was injured I also fractured my femur in 2 places, and pilon fracture of my ankle to go along with it both on my other leg.
Anyone had any luck with bone stimulators or had bone graft surgery done ? I'm attaching a pic of my most recent x rays but they are a couple months out of date now.
