Does an itchy rash post surgery indicate allergy or rejection of synthetic bone, plate or screws?

Likely not: If only the skin is involved, it is not from rejection or allergy to the hardware. Glue from the tape or ingredient of the antiseptic used to sterilize the incision sites is more likely the causes for the rash. Try some hydrocortisone cream.
