Dear Bobthe84,

Under 'Normal' circumstances, this would be 'Monitored' with regular 'Check Ups'. Ordinarily, you would be 'Seen', by a Specialist every few weeks. Once the Infection, has 'Cleared'- which could be a considerable time- then the Bone Flap can be replaced. That is the Normal Procedure.....

At the moment, I honestly can't tell you... it could be Months/ Years, or a few Weeks! If you are 'Called In' next week, don't be too surprised.... Equally if you are Still waiting next year.....

Realistically speaking, probably expect a 'Consultation', later in the year. Sorry that I can't be More Help, to you, Bob.
