I broke both bones in right arm in 2007 & have plates & screws in both. I had 7 months of PT & recovered all movement & strength in arm. They have caused no pain & are not inconvenient in any way. I have had 3 bouts of cellulitis in very near proximity to one of the plates/screws & don’t know if there is any relation to the hardware & infection or not. I have had to take very strong antibiotics to get rid of the infection when it occurs. Has anyone had this problem & could the two be related???
