I have a bone growth stimulator and it's for the calcaneous but by what I've been told there is one for the ankle. Try contacting EBI BIOMET.
The ankle is formed by three bones: the tibia, fibula, and talus.
An osseous fragment in the ankle bone is a small piece of bone that has either broken off from the main bone due to trauma or a medical condition, or it could be a small growth of bone tissue. These fragments can cause pain, limited range of motion, and potential complications if they interfere with the normal functioning of the joint. Treatment may involve monitoring, immobilization, or surgical removal, depending on the severity.
Spinalogic bone growth stimulators are typically not designed to be reprogrammed by the user. Any adjustments or reprogramming should be done by a trained healthcare professional to ensure proper function and effectiveness.
A bone stimulator is a medical device used to promote bone healing by delivering low-level electrical or ultrasound energy to the fracture site. By stimulating the cells responsible for bone formation, it can accelerate the healing process in certain types of fractures. While results vary depending on the specific injury and individual patient factors, bone stimulators have been shown to be effective in aiding in the healing of non-healing fractures or those at risk of delayed healing.

Not as far as I can tell, but you can buy used.
A bone stimulator is used to stimulate growth and healing of bones. It can either be implanted in the body or applied externally. The stimulator delivers an electric current to a specific area to encourage bone health.
No you can't. It's just not the right thing to do.
Medicare coverage for a bone growth stimulator depends on the specific circumstances and medical necessity. In general, Medicare may cover a bone growth stimulator if it is deemed medically necessary for the treatment of a nonunion fracture or certain other conditions. However, coverage criteria can vary, so it is important to consult with a healthcare provider and Medicare for specific details regarding coverage eligibility.

$900.00 co-pay after the insurance. and then the stupid machine is programed to destroy itself after 3 months.
It seems more than a coincidence that with in weeks after using a bone stimulator for my L4 L5 fusion my PSA shot from 2 to 9. I had a normal prostate just before my operation. Any one else have similar observations?
What is the price of a spinalogic
The leg bone
The growth plate is the part of your foot right before your toes. (i would know I broke it :() There are also growth plates in your ankle, leg, elbow, and all your other bones. Just so you know. I broke the one in my ankle :(
bone stimulator
It sends electromagnectic pulses into your body, which promotes the growth of bone grafts. Bone grafts are tiny pieces of bone, sometimes from a cadaver, sometimes taken from other parts of your body like your hip. The bone grafts are placed between vertebra and eventually grow to fuse the vertebrae together. This operation is called a spinal fusion. The bone growth stimulator must have been proven to work because my insurance not only approved the use of it, but paid for 100% of it when I had my spinal fusion. I also assume from their approval, that it must save them money in some way, such as less doctor visits if it makes the bone grafts grow faster than without it.
