A member asked:
How long would recovery be from getting an external fixator to fix a 8mm bone length difference in ulna?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Recovery: Depends on your definition of recovery. Its longer than just getting the fixator removed.I take it this is a graft as well to correct a length problem. 8-10 weeks initially, another 4-6 months until all bone remodeling completed.
