My father had a bone fracture (right knee joint), and went for a surgery in April. A plate was fixed and the surgery went well. Now the screws got loose and the plate had bend downwards to 4 degrees. Will this cause any problem? is there a treatment for this?

Need to see the Xrays. Though if it's not bothering too much and fracture has healed then nothing needs to be done at present.
