What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MD
Good evening,
I'm using my same tablet as usual but my post isn't showing even after I previewed the thread before posting.
I originally had right knee replacement in Philly, October, 2010.
Early 2016, I had pain & x-ray showed the hardware loosened.
October 23, 2017 I had revision surgery, was discharged, fell, broke my right femur October 28, had a 2nd surgery October 29, 2017
Shortly after Thanksgiving, 2017, I felt severe pain in my thigh, December x-ray showed 1 screw loosened. Surgeon said thigh is healing & will continue healing in spite of loose screw. He put me on bed rest & told me to discontinue physical therapy.
When I saw my surgeon last Tuesday, I was disappointed to still see the loose screw in the x-ray, but I was assured my thigh is still healing well, which we want, we don't want to go back & perform another surgery.
After telling family & friends, it sounds odd to just leave the screw alone, although I don't want a 3rd surgery.
Is this something I should be concerned about & consult an attorney?
Thanks in advance
