I had seven screws, two pins, and a bunch of wire in my left elbow for about six months. The doctor said that was too much hardware to leave in that area so he took it back out. The first thing he said after the second surgery was that my elbow hadn't healed yet and if he had taken an X-ray before the surgery he would not have done it at that time. Not exactly what you want to hear. It took another year before I could begin to user that arm normally. After not using that arm for 18 months it took a while to get it back to normal.

The other one moved down until it touched on a nerve if I twisted my body. Happened on a weekend so I moved very gently for a couple of days before that one was also removed.
