My wife suffered a left mid-humeral fracture from a fall while in recovery from a complete shoulder replacement performed at Texas Orthopedic Hosp. We returned to TOH and they removed all implanted appliances and the top 2/3 of her humerus. Her shoulder and her arm were debrided, and we were sent home with 4 weeks of IV antibiotic infusions. Shortly afterward, the end of her humerus pushed out through the incision. and got reinfected. Back to TOH for another debridement, but before surgery, her colon ruptured and she was rushed to Houston Methodist for an emergency ostomy. Four weeks later we went back to TOH and they debrided her again (including a series of events that almost led to security ejecting me from the hospital). She then had 6 more weeks of infusions then 4 weeks of wound care which has not been successful. The surgeon at TOH is now considering this procedure and is referring us to a specialist's specialist. My wife is very tired of all of this.
Excellent explanation on saw bone..
