A member asked:
Orif 6/15 for lisfranc & nutcracker injuries. diffuse osteopenia in midfoot now. advise hardware removal or would it pose risk of re-fracture? age 44

The osteopenia: May be from not using the foot during the rehab period as I'm sure you were in a cast or splint. I would advise checking your bit d levels and pending their result take vit d supplementation based on blood work and also supplement with vitamin k2 and hopefully as you are walking more and more the bone will build up.
