A metal plate that was put in my thumb has broken in half. Am I in any danger??

Question:

I have already had 3 surgeries on my thumb, and I am wondering if I will have to have a 4th one to replace the plate. It hurts constantly..

Answers:
Your doctor is the first person you should be asking . Anytime something placed inside you is "broken", it can travel to an unsafe area , or cease to function as it was intended to . Get medical attention A.S.A.P.

holy cow, that hurts me just hearing it! go to the doctor. if something isn't where it's supposed to be, you can get infections and after all that, you don't want gangrene.
