Hi William,

I think it is this. In medical terms, HBO refers to Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBO). It's a treatment where a patient breathes 100% oxygen inside a pressurized chamber. This increases the amount of oxygen in the blood, which can help the body heal and fight infection.

I recall now. You are correct. It never seems to work well with osteoradionecrosis because once the bone is dead, there is no bringing it back to life. But thanks for the refresher. Never been a fan of initials since my service days.
