Default This all I have from Dr. Bierstedt

Regarding your questions, in the quote I received it states:

-fluroscopic guidance for accurate placement of implant
-use of surgical microscope


In addition, my question would be how many of the implants has the surgeon completed?
Has he ever had one migrate or move in the body?
