Apparently the favoured option is to remove the nail and then put a 'reamer' down the middle of the bone. This sprays out little bits of bone, which then sort of seed the bone re-growth process - it's like an internal bone graft. And then they put the nail back in.

Back on the morphine for a while, I imagine :-((( Actually, I doubt it. I imagine that it's a fairly straightforward procedure - 3 days in hospital, I reckon, with a femoral block for 24 hours after the op, then ordinary painkillers after that. The femur never hurt too much after the initial op, and most of that pain was down to soft tissue damage anyway, I think. I mean, its not like there's nerve endings inside your bones.
Thanks for the text, btw.

I'd never heard of a 'block' before this accident, but I had one on the femur, and then another one was used on my arm when they did my hand surgery 10 days later.

>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_block Yeah, I found that, but it makes no ref at all to ortho surgery, and seems to be all about short time periods.
>http://www.nda.ox.ac.uk/wfsa/html/u11/u1112_01.htm That's more like it. It does say "It is recommended that all blocks on major nerves be carried out on patients that are awake or only lightly sedated", and have no memory at all of it, but I guess I could have been lightly sedated for pre-op. Also, my recollection is that it lasted at least 18 hours, if not more.

There's another technique that's probably not just a 'nerve block' which is not mentioned there. It involves inserting a catheter into the vein and delivering small doses of anasthetic over a period of time, effectively continuing th nerve block indefinitely. I first saw it used on a young lad who pulled pulled his ACL off his femur while skiing with us last season. They left it in for a couple of days at least, IIRC.

Just like at the dentists, some drugs(the older ones, in that case) are quite wide-acting and long-lasting while others may be much more localised and quicker to wear off.

I was warned by the original surgeon in the IoM that the trauma could be significant enough that the bone wouldn't heal. Apparently, with a clean break, when you put the bits back together, everything lines up ok (blood vessels, etc), and it gets on and heals. But, when the broken ends don't really match properly, then the process just doesn't get started. Or something.
