How the pins are removed from bunion foot what medication required?

In office or in OR: When pins are used in hammertoe surgery, the pins usually protrude through the tips of the toes and are easily removed in your doctors office with some pliers. If the pins are buried under the skin, like some doctors do in bunion surgery, he may need to take you back to the operating room and under light sedation with local anesthesia make a small incision to remove the pins.

Sterile pliers: Pins are removed at six weeks. Sterile orthpaedic pliers grasp the pin and they are pulled out . A small bandage covers the pin site. I rarely use pins for bunion surgery. This holding strength is very weak compared to current plate and screw systems. Plates and screws rarely need to be removed and allow for early motion and weight bearing.

Very confused: By your question. You are not supposed to remove any pins yourself.....If the are pins that get removed the doctor does that. There is no medication required for them to do that. If you experience pain they may decide to give you some local anesthesia. Please don't touch the pins yourself.
