THIS IS NOT LACTATION RELATED.
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SKIP.
 First I want to say sorry for this post but I'm desperate. One of you may
have read of some odd ball reasearch someplace that could help me.

What was left of my greater trochanter has cracked off again (4th time). The
bone should be the size of a lime but all that remains is about the size of a
postage stamp and almost as thin. A solution has been offered of taking a
cadaver (yuk) trocanter transplanting it, letting it seat and then
re-attaching the muscles. This would have many inherient dangers such as HIV
risk and rejection as well as: require at least 2 operations, and take a long
time for recovery. The surgery and recovery don't bother me as much as the
cadaver idea.

Here's what I need:
Does anyone know of a way to grow a large piece of bone at another site in my
body so it can be transplanted to replace the trochanter?

Please e-mail me privately
