I fell broke my tibia bone broke into came out of skin right above the ankle in front. had rod 4 screws two at top and two in ankle. one removed from right sid of knee early on causing issues so DR removed only one the right one. now I am having issue with knee right in the area where last screw is on left side of knee, it for lack of better word, "locks up and feels like it needs to be popped out to fix" I want to know if it is ok to have it removed now, the break was over 3 years ago.
Hello, Sometimes a backed out screw may cause such symptoms. Get an x-ray done and if the injury/fracture is completely healed...get the implant removal done Hope this helps
