Hi, I had a Broestrom Repair of my right ankle in September 2008. I had an arthroscopic debridement of the talar joint in December 2008 and I had an arthrotomic ostectomy of an anteromedial bone spur in March 2009 -- long long and somewhat remarkable story.

Anyway, I am just starting to get back into my usual activities and I have two screws in each malleoli. I can feel the tips of the lateral screws through my skin and they are causing pain in certain weight-bearing positions.

Is it possible or even typical to have these screws removed?
