Does infection due to kwire cause pain
It's been 6 weeks that my toe my operated with kwire to fix the bone fracture & the kwire is still not removed. I am getting pain in this area since yesterday, is this because of infection? If so how serious is this infection & can I visit the doctor who operated after a day or two.

Get it removed asap. If the Kwire is not left outside then it might have to stay.otherwise it should come out. Otherwise it might get infected
