a family member broke his femur at the age of 11 because of a benign unicameral bone cyst. he has undergone everything from therapy to injections and his hips are still uneven leaving his one leg a ffew inches shorter than the other. doctors want him to have a hip fusion (he is now 14)rather than a hip replacement when he is 20. i was wondering if we could get any advice or feedback???
