There is either evidence out there or there is not. Stuff like that matters to me. I understand being cautious in the face of no evidence and Lincoln's position remains curious.
I'm guessing there is some perhaps diffuse evidence in hand that drives the 6-12 month usual restrictions with this surgery.
I'd like to know what the pseudoarthrosis rate is in kids with the new hardware. It may so low that the differences between restricted kids and non-restricted kids might be in the statistical noise.
