An old injury, implant for broken ankle
Hi. My friend once had a badly broken ankle, requiring a metal implant. It has of course healed, but he is now feeling pain and having problems with flexibilty and swellinf. Is it best to have the hatdware removed and also go for physio therapy sessions to get it back to almost 100℅?
