Guest guest Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 What part of the leg are you having replaced? Surely not the whole leg?

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 I have heard of having the whole femur replaced. I even saw the xray showing it. I think it was in a two year old or a two year old replacement. Great help here aren't I! It may have been on the osteonecrosis group on .

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 Seriously, No one has ever heard of someone with an artificial leg? I didn't thing they were that uncommon. Do a web search and you will find at least 5 places that sell them. I just need to know how artificial parts are controlled and installed. How about an artificial arm. Anyone heard of them? I myself don't need one, just need to know how they work. Becky -- In Joint Replacement , " Sue " <tubbs8695@...> wrote: > > I have heard of having the whole femur replaced.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 Hi Sue , Thanks for letting me know about the leg replacement,I 'm not sure about the femur does that have something to do with your hip replacement ?

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 Susie The femur is the bone that goes from the hip to the knee. Sue > > > > > > > > Does anyone know about leg replacement surgery or a website that > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Hi Sue. Is the femur the bone that they use when they do a hip or knee replacement on you?

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 ---Hi Becky, I typed " How does the brain control artificial limbs " into my search bar and got this; http://www.local6.com/news/4643968/detail.html And this; http://www.rsna.org/rsna/media/pr2004/pr_brain_remapping.html And this; http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/03/060322140608.htm And there were quite a few more on there too. Hope this helps. .....
