Re: Ritalin and bony healing

Yes, Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. His fathers hamstring was used as the graft, a new technique here is Australia. His heel pain seems secondary to biomechanical faults from changed gait post reconstruction. I have found 2 articles ragarding bone mineral density and ritalin, one small one on humans, and one or rats, both reported no significant difference but I still question the mechanism by which the Ritalin slows growth (and whether or not it then influences the healing of bone). Very difficult to find.
