Knee joint fracture,implant screw issue
My father had a fracture in his right knee (joint) 5 months ago. It has completely healed now. But screw affixed with the implant plate is moving, and we fear if that would fall. The solution would be to remove it, but considering that it is just months since the surgery, is it advisable to go for the removal now? What will be the problems if the screw falls?
