Had my removal surgery par the advice of my orthopedic surgeon in the US two weeks ago.

I think we’re fu@#ed.  Picked up my Stryde nail & screws today.  There are corrosions and rust on the Stryde.

Did anyone else kept their hardwares and found corrosions and rust on the Stryde nail?

Didn't even know you could keep your hardware. Who was your surgeon?

Yes, I had to request for it prior to surgery.  The surgical technician will clean and sanitize and wrap it before giving it to the surgeon. He is an orthopedic surgeon from Kaiser and does not do CLL, so I'm not too comfortable disclosing his name on a public forum, but he was referred by another member of this forum.

Hi azman,

That is shocking to hear. In order to attach images please upload them on imgur.com and paste links here.

What were your doctor's comments about the rust?

Azman's Pictures referring to the corrosion (he asked me to aid in posting them):

One nail has more corrosion, not sure if the other one has any. and this is after they've been sanitized after removal.

When did you remove the nails? After how many months?

Well, Paley and the other doctors admit that this corrosion is happening in like 60% of cases, and that's the reason of the Nuvasive audit. However, they don't think it causes any problems.
