I have a non-union from a lapidus done 6 months ago. I was given an Ortho-fix bone stimulator (3hrs/day application) at month 5 and told to decrease my activity and put the boot back on. Now one month later, there is no difference on X-ray in the non-union. My question is--is it too soon to see any bone growth (Ortho-fix rep said it takes 3-9 months)? Also, my new ortho surgeon states that, even though the foot is stable but moderately painful, a revision with a bone graft is indicated. Any thoughts?
