Where did you get your op done?
I had problems with the gap between the two pieces of my bone not filling in for a long time, I had a plate put in and subsequently removed, but the tissue didnt grow very fast because the location of the break didnt have much circulation.
If there was some sort of artificial bone replacement available then I'd have happily taken that. Whats the name of the material? And how does it work? I dont understand how it would have the capacity to replace / regrow existing organic bone tissue, unless the material was organic itself (and then surely there would be problems with your body rejecting the replacement tissue - which is the reason that they do a bone graft from your own hip marrow...?)
