Also, discussing the options of using bone wax or not. Apparently Dr. Clavel uses it, but Dr. Hamlyn and bierstedt do not. With my history of staph infections, Dr. Clavel said he may not use it. I'm afraid of him altering his normal procedure. But I'm wondering, are there other techniques that need to be done instead if he doesn't use it?

Very confused.
I have sent two email this poast week to Malte without reply and one to Kelli. I hear back from BCN rwithin 24 hours. Dr. Clavel gave the best assessment thus far. He caught something the other did not. It's more money, but my health and out come is worth it!
