More info!: First, how old are you? Second, when did you have the surgery? Third: How long has it been tingling and numb? Please ask your question again and add that info to help us guide you best.

Sometimes it happens: It's normal, in the sense that when a pin is inserted for fixation, on occasion it is near a nerve that can be effected. This can cause a nerve signal disruption.
