Orthopedic Nail and Revision Surgery with cartilage graft?

April 24, 2024
Asked By:Anonymousgoldfish in Los Angeles, California

I'm planning on undergoing an orthopedic surgery that will require the implantation of an Intramedullary nail for a few months. I am also planning on having a revision cosmetic surgery that will require the use of a cartilage graft (I believe cadaver cartilage but may be autologous as well). Are there any contraindications to me being able to undergo this cosmetic procedure while I have this nail implanted? Biggest concern would probably be risk of infection. Thank you!
