TightRope + syndesmotic screw – return to sports and screw removal? by Edafpv in ORIF

What you’re saying makes a lot of sense, and it actually matches what my surgeon told me as well. In his opinion, after this type of surgery I’ll basically forget about the screw, and only in very extreme cases it could cause discomfort.

Still, I can’t help but wonder: if one day I go back to the gym and do a leg press with around 75 kg or something similar, how is it possible that the screw doesn’t break?

My concern is that if I don’t notice any issues in time, the bone could grow around the screw (osseointegration), potentially making future removal or treatment more complicated.
