A member asked:
Intramedullary nailing systems is what i have in my hip both screw and rod stick out beyond bone and causes pain is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hardware: Yes, this can be normal. Some Orthopedic hardware can be felt over bone areas. This is not dangerous, but if it has been over a year, and the fracture is completely healed, you can talk to your surgeon about the possibility of removing some or all of the hardware.
