Monty Posted April 28, 2010 Share #18 Posted April 28, 2010 I feel for her having to go thru another surgery. Hope it heals quick, and it's the last time they have to go in. Sorry Taters, but this thread is hilarious. I thought Loctite as soon as I read Tom's post....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinfool Posted April 28, 2010 Share #19 Posted April 28, 2010 I hate when the wifey has a loose screw.... First thing I thought of was loctite also..... We must be a one track group... My mother went thru this with a broken leg. When they went back in because the plate was rubbing a tendon they just took all of the hardware out since the bone was now healed and the plates and screws were just to keep it all lined up for the bone to heal. Might be something to ask the doc about. Best of luck with every thing that need to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
