Re: [QUAD-L] fractured femur

GeeZ Girl, Sorry to heard and read of your incident.  In your case, its click it or break it. E-Stims are used for a number of different reasons.  In sports medicine they are sometimes used to stim the nerves, muscles and bones to improve, increase the growth process.  Other times they are used to stimulate the muscles.  This helps a leg in a cast from getting rigid during the time the imobilized leg is in a cast.  Return to natural and normal movement is quicken as well. Just thought I'd mention, if your ortho doctor was into sports medicine.
