In an elective procedure involving seven women, common bone wax made of beeswax was utilised to control bleeding from cancellous bone. One underwent an acromial resection, one had a medial exostosis of the first metatarsal head resection, and five of them had calcaneal exostosis and bursa at the insertion of the calcaneous tendon removed.
