A member asked:
A titanium screw just came out from having 2 plates put in to fix a broken jaw that happened over 2 year's ago. i cant see a doctor for at least 2 week's.. im on disability and don't know if its ok or bad as is?

Screw Loose: After two years your broken jaw will be adequately healed. I don't believe you have anything to worry about regarding loss of this screw, but keep your appointment for two weeks to have your dentist/oral surgeon or physician take a look.
