A member asked:

After having titaniam rib plate put in after a mountain biking accident, what is the danger of having the one of the screws rupturing my liver?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The screws holding the titanium plate in place are inserted into bone, and new osteocyte formation securely anchors the plate so that there are no exposed sharp tips likely to expose surrounding tissues to injury. Consult your physician who inserted the titanium plate for guidance.
