Autoclaving the frozen bone before reimplantation in order to reduce the risk of SSI [ 1, 2, 21, 38, 40], along with shunt procedures [ 2] both seem to increase the risk of bone flap resorption.
For this particular biomolecular reaction network, only a SSI = 1 sec gives an adequate approximation to the exact behavior of these rapidly fluctuating state variables.
