Screw implant removal

2023-10-23 15:03:18
2 yrs ago, a screw had to be implanted in my husband's shoulder bone. Although it has not caused any problem yet but we don't know what the screw is made of as the hospital didn't give us any document after the surgery mentioning the material of the implant. Please find attached xray. Please advise if we should remove the implant.
