Surgery: removal of metalwork
9 Answers
Hello, I am having surgery on wednesday to remove metalwork from my ankle which I had put in to fix a bad break in december. I was just curious if I would be allowed to keep the said metalwork once it is removed? I just think it has caused me such much pain and such a bloody slow recovery that a memento (thats not wacking great scars) would be nice.
Thanks

He had both removed eventually, and like you, we thought it would be nice to have them mounted as a momento. A friend of a friend did it for us, but made the base in the shape of a coffin. Fortunately, we saw the funny side of it.
