Knee joint fracture implant screw
Its been 5 months since my father went for a surgery due to a knee joint fracture. The fractured part has healed now. But the screw affixed along with the plate got loose and is about to fall.
If it falls, will it cause any problem?
Right now there isn't any irritation because of the screw. But since it is about to fall, should we go for surgery immediately..
