Most of my lower jaw was removed and reconstructed with hip bone due to osteoradionecrosis in 2008.

I had bone infections for months. Horrible situation! I was on one antibiotic after another but once surgeons removed the titanium plate and cleaned bone everything healed very well.

Sending your husband best wishes!
