THAK YOU. I HAD AN OERATION ON MY LEFT ANKLE BACKLIN 1993 dying which several Synthes screws were inserted. The operation was a breathless and done by a great ortho surgeon so is now retired.  The potential problem now is that a heavy metal test was run this year and it was determined that I have a rather high amount of platinum in my blood.  The allergist has asked me to try to find out where I could have gotten the platinum and suggested that Myanmar mercury my be the source and suggested that, if so I should probably have the hardware removed.  The problem is that I cant seem to find any mass sheets for the particular screws in question.  A long question but I really Ned to find the source of the toxicitybefore I attempt detox. Thanks Mary Jean cardinaleSo sorry I did not know that this was a charge .  I will simply take the mercury report to my allergist to see what I should do.  Sorry I should have read the particulars of this request
Hello, If you can not find any source, no work with platinum, no industry around where you live, or you work it can be due to the materials used during your ankle surgery. I advise you talk with your doctor if the material he used can be substituted with one less toxic and that he remove the old material he used on your ankle.
