A member asked:
What do you advise if i had intramedullary nailing of the right tibia october 25, 2013.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Leave it alone...: the rod can stay in forever. Sometimes the screws that are placed though the rod at the top and bottom of your tibia can be painful and their removal is minor surgery. Removing the rod is a big surgery sometimes and can be as painful as putting it in.
