Time passing inbetween SG surgeries
« on: May 12, 2021, 03:31:50 PM »
I'll make it short. Had a SG about half a decade ago, left the screws and plate in. If I were to get a SG again is there a risk that the foreign material is now hidden underneath new bone growth? Would they have to shave down the bone to find the screws/plate and is it a problem that could cause bone loss there?
Thanks.
