Oooh titanium fibula plate gang!
I got mine out only 18 months after having it put in cause my screws were popping out and my plate was grinding against my bone and very painfully pressing in. Got a shiny secondary scar where my wound popped open when they removed the stitches . Apparently I wasn't done cooking yet.
Nothing but ugly scars left behind now.
Youch! Mine is still in there like ~~a decade~~ 17 years later, it's only sensitive when it gets bumped. I haven't even asked about getting it removed but apparently it's "elective" which even in a country with socialised medicare means you can pay through the nose.
Edit: am old
Yeah, had mine not been popping it would still be in there cause it would be considered elective, but they had to do something before it broke skin.
