I'm so pleased the surgeon agreed to pin & plate the break, the break was a bit of a mess with 4 pieces of bone, 2 large pieces & 2 small, one of which was removed.
The plate is titanium alloy with 6 pins holding the plate to the main 2 bones and 1 pin holding a small fragment to one of the main bones.
The scar is hardly noticable but in order to ensure the break was strong, the plate had to be in a certain position and unfortunately it does stand out a little! I'm not exactly happy that it stands out so much, but to be honest, as long as its strong, I can live with it, I'm on the mend and I'm OK
