Hi sarah81,

If the bone stimulator does not work, you might want to use it for longer periods of time and if that does not work you might want to ask your surgeon about bone grafting.

The IM rod should work, however there have been cases where the athlete has jumped up and then landed on the affected leg, thus causing the IM rod to bend resulting in a fractured tibia. I am not saying this is common, but it is something to be aware of.
