Good point by Teri Johnson. I don't decalcify, thus my results may well be compromised by this procedure....and, sure, the bone is disrupted. I am only interested in CNS/PNS so, I don't worry about bone/cartilage disruption. I fix in std 10% NBF. Imho, it is better to "overfix" rather than to worry about optimal short fixation, if you are using HIER.
