 Sahuaro, having been involved in over 500 cases now, I've seen way too much of the "less than 1% chance" types of problems.   
 I've only seen one other case of osteomyelitis and it came associated with discitis... an infection of the disc following a minimally invasive procedure.   That case followed a typical pattern that included obvious infection parameters and very extreme pain just a few weeks after surgery.
