IM nail removal

2017-12-21 05:07:53
I broke my wrist in an accident 2.5 years back. My surgeon implanted and IM nail inserting it from elbow till my wrist. When I reached back to him for the implant removal he says it should have been removed within 1-1.5 years from surgery. Due to prolonged period it might have been stuck inside. Is it true ? How to deal with this ?
