Here's to a haPPy ending.

I have a question, maybe you can answer it. I looked at the x-ray of all the "screws" used in the surgery. If the horse should live and everything is successful as could be expected, will all those screws be left by doctors where they are presently.

I ask this because there are a number of the screws that are basically in a vertical position and hold different bones together. It seems that the horse would have little or no ability to bend its ankle area if he should survive if those screws remained.

I was wondering if these "vertical" pins or screws would be permanent.

It would be more than wonderful if the horse would just survive through all this, but I was wondering about his ability to walk well enough.

Just wondering.
