Title: if surgeon does not have exp with internals is it a problem
Post by: toyz on December 17, 2022, 12:25:39 PM
some docs have great exp with external frame but less exp with internal method

can this be risky if u are doing internals with such surgeon? like can it leads to extra blood loss during surgery due to surgeon does not have exp with internals much?

Better to go with surgeon who has experience but all surgeons can insert nail in the bone so I don't think extra blood loss will be a point here.

the internal nail must be aligned correctly and not every surgeon can align these nails. Dr. Robbins pointed the alignment of the nail on the X-ray during one of my visits.

If a surgeon is inexperienced in a surgical procedure he will perform, then of course that will be a major problem.

Some of these discussions keep getting weirder and stupider.
