Title: Does becker use an electric bone saw ?
Post by: sixfootandhalf on June 24, 2023, 12:59:40 AM: I can't verify this but some people are claiming becker is one of the few surgeons using an electric bone saw which generates heat and apparently affects bone and non union?

I'm skeptical of that, does anyone know ?

Post by: Yau on June 24, 2023, 02:40:23 AM: I have watched Dr Donghoon Lee YouTube video. He said he never use electric bone saw because it may burn cells and cause non union. He claimed that it is 0% non union case in his hospital. I don’t know it is true or not regarding Dr Becker uses electric bone saw. I wonder if there are other LL surgeons who use electric bone saw too. Anyone knows?
