8 months ago I was hit by a truck resulting in both of my legs being broken. My right side was my hip, pelvis, femur. The left side was my tibia and fibula with a compound spiral fracture. My right side has healed. The left leg is still broken I lost a lot of bone when the bone came out of my skin. The night of the accident they did surgery putting rods and screws in both legs. After 6 months the dr decided to try me on a bone stimulator. It didn't worksad so now the dr is going to remove the rod and replace it with a larger one also he's going to do a fibula ostectomy. Has anyone had any experience with this surgery?
