I broke my leg and have 7 screws in it.

2017-09-16 10:01:05
The break is just under my kneecap. My leg is healed but I can clearly see where screws(7) are. Looks as if i have a second kneecap. The doctor said that bone has formed over the screws.....should i let the screws and extra bone be romeved?
