Bone fractures or breaks are routinely fixed in place with metal implants to encourage healing. These are usually made from corrosion-resistant steel or titanium, but have to be removed in a second operation once the bones have mended.

Been there. Done that. It was one of the most difficult times of my life. If they can improve the procedure, God bless.

I’m recovering from fractures requiring metal in my leg and wrist. I was told if I ever should choose to have the metal removed from my leg, it would be at least a 6 week recovery. I don’t know if I’d want to go through with that again if I don’t have to. (I bet my husband doesn’t want to either.)
