A member asked:
I broke my ankle a few years ago and i have a metal plate and some screws in my ankle and sometimes i have a burning sensation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ankle fractures are common injuries that can be treated with surgical intervention. The metal plates and screws used may cause discomfort or complications after the surgery, such as a burning sensation in the affected area. Nerve damage can occur during surgery or from the injury that can cause burning pain in the ankle and the nerves around the ankle.
