Guest guest Posted February 22, 2000 Report Share Posted February 22, 2000 I have heard some rather disturbing news lately and would like to have some feedback. I heard that the bovine graft when used in Chiari surgery only has a life of about +/- 2 years. Has anyone else heard about this? I plan on asking people in the med community to find out more, but I wanted to know if anyone else here has heard about this.
