Broke my collarbone a while back. Had surgery to repair because there was a large margin of separation in the break.
The screws came about 3/4 the way out of my bone almost immediately. The break was very slow to heal and I'm not 100 convinced that it is healed yet after 1.5 years, but it is stable. What I mean is, the xrays still show dark areas in the break zone but you can tell that the bone is trying to heal.
I'm now thinking about having the plate removed since it's not really attached all that well, it hurts, and it makes noises when I move my arm. Has anyone experienced this?
