Suggest Treatment For Loose Bones And Plate After Surgery For Broken Bones
Hi, I am Rebecca and March 17th I had a multiple bones broken. Both Femur s , Pelvis in 4 places and a crushed ankle. Today I need a un biased opinion. My Left Femur has a Titanium rod placed in it and the orthopedic surgeon placed also a plate in it. Since then the bone just wasn t strong enough and became loose and the plate became free. Now it is place resting next to the Knee cap and has turned and showing off it s finer points by pushing out against my skin.

Dear Sir/Madam
I have gone through your query and read your symptoms.
In my opinion, you have had an implant failure, an X Ray would have given us better judgement, you will definitively need removal of the implant, and then re fixation with bone graft.
I hope that answers your query. If you want any more clarification, contact me back.
