I'm at 9 wks post op. I'm two weeks with partial weight bearing in the boot. But now I'm wondering will they take the pins and screws out? I really don't want to keep mine in. I have 6 screws,and one pin. Do they CV one out?
I have two plates, 6 screws, and a suture after I broke my ankle, and I was told I’m keeping all of it in.
It all stays in holding bone in place. Once bone has grown and secured these damaged area of the ankle. One clip in my foot makes a clicking sound and surgeon said it will get better with time and the noise is from scar tissue.
I've been told I'll have my two pins taken out in about 4 months I'm week 4 post op I had a plate, five screws and two pins.
