So here is the result from the surgery. I was actually pretty surprised how simple it was. I will say, the soft tissue around where the infection had eaten through the bone and was into the soft tissue was a monster to try and detach from the periosteum. Anyways, here’s how it ended up. Pretty good result imo. We placed the mixture you recommended for the BG and did a MemLok membrane held in by closing the semilunar flap with 5-0 glycolon suturing, a ton of them haha.
Question about the bone graft-which mix would you use in a case like this and how long for healing time? I assume 4-6 months, she’s an older pt so I’d lean more toward 6 probably but wanted to see how long you typically let the graft sit.
Hey thanks for your reply! I’m going to look into that, very interesting!
