I'm told my bone flap (from 2023 crainiotomy and subsequent removal of infected hardware and bone chip left after surgery] may still have bacteria in it and a "10-minute crainiotomy" could be done to determine if, in fact. there is infection still there. This 10-minute procedure would be enough to scrape some bone to do more testing on bone flap situation. What does your dr tell you about your "indolent bone infection?" I had 6 weeks of daily antibiotic infusions after removal of the infected hardware. My dr said I would probably need that again if I choose to have the "10 minute" procedure to get a new bone scraping. Have you been taking intravenous antibiotic treatment? I'm in a 6-month waiting mode to see what to do. Thank you.
