    Viewer discretion is advised


    Ever wonder how the procedure is done?

    Making the holes for the marrow clot looks brutal. I found this while I was merely looking for Oden highlight vids.

    It's hard to tell the scale. I wonder how big the holes are?

    The goal is to create scar tissue, which means it's probably better to make crude holes rather than clean ones. The scar tissue replicates a cartilaginous substance.

    Actually it's the equivalent of a "scab" on the inside of your body. The coagulated blood and bone marrow create fibrous tissue which serves as a cushion similarly to how cartilege cushions.
