4 weeks into rehab after the fall, 5 of the screws decided to rip out of the bone, so had to go back in to get surgery re-done and start all over again. Second pic is the newer, more reinforced, version. They only screwed and plated the right side, the left side had 2 fractures that they were happy to leave alone to heal.
When I asked the surgeon if the second ones would be better than the first, he said "well I thought the first lot would do the job, so I'm not sure anymore..."
