Can Screws Put To Hold The Bones In Place In The Legs Be Removed?
Hi I have miserable misalignment syndrome in my legs and I have a corrective surgery 2 years ago. The plate and 8 screws they put in to hold my bones in place after is causing me a lot of pain. So my question is should I leave the plate and screws in or can I have them removed
Usually, it's not required to remove them until unless they are causing a problem. You need to get yourself properly examined if they are the main culprit of your pain. If yes then it's better to get them removed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
