Title: Dr. Jean Cole- orlandoflorida, Florida, USA
Post by: ReadRothbard on December 30, 2014, 06:48:46 AM: Dr. Jean Cole does ISKD surgery at the Florida Hospital Orthopaedic Institute orlandoflorida. I'll provide the link to his website. I'll try emailing him for the price.

That isnt very far from Tampa at all. hour and half drive tops.

I wonder if he would do follow ups for fitbone or precise? Can you ask him or should I call him?

Post by: Taller on December 31, 2014, 06:22:48 AM: With the newer IKSD's, do the patient and doctor have to decide how much the nail will distract before lengthening, or can this be decided during lengthening, like on other nails?

On the old model, one had to decide how far the nail would distract before the operation, and that number couldn't be changed once the nail was implanted.

ISKD?

ISKD is an internal nail that Dr. Cole invented about twenty years ago. It fell off of everyone's radar after there were a few malfunctions, but apparently the newer nails aren't as flawed.

Post by: ReadRothbard on December 31, 2014, 10:02:15 PM: I just sent Dr. Coleman email asking him about the price of the procedure, estimated recovery time, etc.

hm, but I fear the magnet concept's potency for risks of failure...

Awesome please let us know as soon as you know. Also could you ask about physical therapy (cost, is it included in price etc).

Iskd, is this strictly wheel chair bound or some weight bearing? transfers?
