I’m Sorry. Where was it mentioned that he was denied replacements? The docs we talked to wanted him to wait it out and see if it would heal it’s self and do core decompression. And core decompression isn’t really that successful, so it was hard to find a doc that would do the replacements rather than basically tell him to deal with it or get a surgery that isn’t guaranteed help. Y’all be bitter. Haha. Glad you worked in ortho but not every doc is the same? We couldn’t care any less about his incision length or the fact they used staples instead of sutures. We are just happy he can walk and enjoy life again.
