Thanks for everyone's advice on my question regarding an artificial hip
socket. My question now is, since both of your kids' (Martin & Joy)
circumstances were a little different...can I tell by the xrays if she
might need the pins & plates? Or if it'd just be fixed by surgery & a
bone graft? I haven't taken the films to the pediatric orthopedic
surgeon yet because I haven't received my very final approval from
China on her adoption. And since I don't have her here, we can't file
it to insurance. So, I'm researching what I can & may wait until we get
her home to have her seen personally. Do you think they could tell me
much more without seeing her & just having the films? I know a
consultation would be costly. I don't want to waste the Dr's time or my
money if he has to see her to determine treatment.
Thanks again for any advice. Everyone has been a tremendous help.
