Hi @lturn9. I've only been visiting the forum on occasion but saw your post about your situation. Have you considered talking to anyone about bone lengthening to regrow some of the bone lost? I was looking at the website for the Hospital for Special Surgery, which apparently is the top site for orthopedic surgery in the U.S. and saw this information: https://www.hss.edu/limblengthening-about.asp
Perhaps you could ask your surgeon about it or find someone there to communicate with you to see if that is a possibility for your situation. Or perhaps someone at Mayo is familiar with the process. Best wishes!
