Regarding operation
I am Ashok(37yrs). I met with an accident and broke my right leg below knee on 2nd August 2018 and underwent an operation after 3 days of it. I was asked to undergo another operation for the removal of the rod. As I did not have any problem with rod, I didn't go for operation. Now, my doubt is.. Is it ok if I don't go for rod removal operation? Will there be any prblm with rod in my leg?
