@vickimartin Yes. Five years ago at Mayo Rochester. They used a section of my fibula to do the rebuild. A rather lengthy surgery and a bit of a tough recovery but far quicker than bouncing back from cancer treatment.
If you want any information about this procedure, you can ask on this feed or in a private message. It is a rare procedure and only done well in a few locations around the world.
