DMPA and bone density.

-a mobile, two legged man-is far preferable to a disarticulated or hindquarter amputation. The hospital stay of seven months was a small price to pay for the patient's present state of health. The comments relating to the cost of his postoperative care are short sighted and obviously take no account of the patient's wishes, quality of life, and the long term cost to society of a young man with a mutilating amputation.
