Guest guest Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Hello, This is my first post since I joined, next Monday I meet with the OS to discuss my surgery since the initial visit. I was wondering if anyone has some questions to ask that either helped them or that they wish they had asked prior to their big day? I am having lower only (I think based on my ortho's comments)! I am traveling for work and my medical files are at home so I don't have the exact terminology on hand. Also, my ortho's assistant gave me her overview of the procedure and mentioned using screws and metal plates to hold everything in place, I have heard about other people with implants (knee specifically) that had rejection issues and had to have their hardware removed. Does anyone have any experience with hardware issues? Thanks in advance, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
