hey, good news. I hope it will heal all well, all the best for you. Myself, I had some titanium in my right leg, a so called "marrow nail, medullary nail, intramedullary nail". after 1,5 yrs it got removed (quite painful), and finally I have put it into my truggy, to improve the stiffness (poor quality of the chassis):
further I have some more nails and plates made of titanium in my left pelvis. but they will stay in there. cool stuff.
