Knee replacement

2021-04-28 07:59:51
My dad is suferring from arthritis from the past 20 years. He had bow legs in both his legs and hence had undergone HTO when he was 19 years to correct the deformity. But the screw couldn't be taken out due to muscle growth. If he has to  undergo  a knee replacement surgery in future should the screws be removed before the surgery or it can be removed during the same surgery ?
