Metal rod in leg causing pain. Some patients feel pressure or pain where the implant is placed. This may be one of the signs of metal irritation.
The patient should not wear a rubber leg prosthesis for more than 4 months after the implant is inserted. There may be a small risk of infection and the patient may need antibiotic therapy for the treatment of infection. If a patient is exposed to a metal object, the patient should wear a leg prosthesis to reduce the risk of infection and infection complications.
A metal rod in the leg will be removed if there is any danger of infection. It can be surgically removed, or the patient may need to use surgery to remove a metal rod in the leg. If there is a risk of becoming infected, it is usually removed by a metal removal specialist.
Other possible causes of metal objects
Tendon infection is a serious and life-threatening condition.
If bacteria cause the metal object to be lodged in the muscle, the patient will need to be given antibiotics immediately.
Arthritis
The patient may need to wear a leg prosthesis to reduce the risk of injury from the metal object.

Surgical complications
Metal objects can also be damaged by surgical techniques, so your doctor will need to tell you about any surgical procedures that you may be required to undertake.
Metal object symptoms
The patient may have some, or all, of these symptoms:
Fever and heat. The temperature of the body after removal of the implant may be increased, although the temperature should not increase above 32°C (86°F).
The temperature of the body after removal of the implant may be increased, although the temperature should not increase above 32°C (86°F).
You may need to have a blood test to check the blood pressure, heart rate, heart rate variability, blood glucose levels and levels of the hormone prostaglandin E 2 (PGE 2 ). These are all signs of low blood pressure and may be raised if a patient has had a metal rod inserted into the arm.
These tests may also be used to assess the extent of metal obstruction. If a patient has been given medication to reduce the swelling of the implant after a metal rod is removed, this may cause a reduction in the blood pressure and levels of the PGE 2 hormone.
The metal rod removal procedure
The implant is made from a solid metal which needs to be extracted and cleaned. The implant is placed in a special procedure known as a tourniquet (pronounced turg-in-uhl) which is placed around the implant using a scalpel or knife. The tourniquet then is adjusted in order to hold the metal rod in place. Removal of the tourniquet is normally carried out by a member of the surgical team. The metal is extracted in the same way as you would be removing a piece of paper.
The surgical team
The surgical team consists of a surgeon, a metal removal specialist, a general surgeon, a nurse (who performs the procedure in the treatment room) and one or more assistants.
In most cases, the surgeon will operate the patient while wearing a special pair of surgical gloves. It is very important that you don’t wear any other surgical gloves or surgical pads to assist with the procedure.
The procedure
There are many steps involved in removing a metal rod.
First, you will remove the metal object by cutting a groove around it. This will usually involve the insertion of a tourniquetepan ring around the object.
The metal rod is then inserted into a slot in the groove of the tourniquepan ring, using the ring
The next step involves the insertion of the rod into the slot.
