I still have regular pain at the location of the hardware, especially when my leg is not held straight, like when crossing my legs. And I always feel a tightness around my knee area, as if I were wearing an ace bandage.

Hi, I was wondering if you ever had your hardware removed. My tibial plateau fracture surgery was one year ago. I have 14 screws and two plates and still feel pain when I walk. My doctor says it’s probably not the hardware but the x-ray shows the the bone healed just fine! I also feel the tightness around my knee, feeling, like you said, a tight ace bandage. Doc said it must be scar tissue (?). He has no answer as to why I’m still feeling pain...
