[quote="Sgt>Stackem":9a404]Im surprised they will use bone from your hip. There are many bone substitute products out there now. The reason you would want to go with that is often the hip takes longer to heal than the part they fixed. I work in the orthopedic implant industry and most of our doc's are switching to the substitute products. They find recovery time to be greatly increased[/quote:9a404]

he actually told me about the substitutes but he said because it was in my face and close to my eye, he didnt want to risk any sort of rejection, infection, etc, so the safest bet was to take my own bone. Pain isn't really a problem for me. I'm sure it will hurt, but nothing I can't handle cool:
