I am about 2 1/3 years out from my initial surgery when I had a T3 to Sacrum fusion with pelvic fixation. A recent xrays shows a broken left screw in my pelvis. The break does not appear to be at a stress point but within the pelvis. Xrays 6 weeks before this one did not show any problem.
Has anyone had a broken screw in the pelvis?
What is usually done about the broken screw (if anything)?
Why would a screw break at this point after my initial surgery?
About 2 weeks ago, I suddenly started having a very tight sensation, a strong, dull pain over my sacrum. The discomfort increases the more that I walk.
Help!
