I’m considering getting my hardware out after several years. I have 14 screws in a plate. I’m just wondering if you have an orthopedic surgeon you recommend for the hardware removal?

I just had hardware removed. I had a screw from an SI Joint fusion that was causing me pain sitting over my SI joint. I also had a screw head removed from the second screw. They couldn’t move that screw because it was embedded into my bone already. And they also found a floating rod from my L4 disc fusion I had a year ago. Dr. Jackman from Brain and Spine institute in Stillwater did it. He did a good job. Going into surgery he didn’t know about the floating rod. He came across that during surgery.
