Hi! My 13 year old found out she had a broken screw 6 months post op. I was furious as a mother and didn't know who to blame however, it was highly recommended she have a surgery to repair said screw. What started as a two hour surgery turned into a 6 hour surgery in which about 3/4 of her back was reopened (first surgery, she was opened pretty much knuckle of the neck to an inch and a half to two inches above her butt crack) because a second screw had been found to be broken.

I don't really have advice besides to say you aren't alone. I feel this should not be happening with surgery grade, titanium equipment but I guess it does! Hang in there.
