Is there a Doctor in the house?

My bro had his ankle snapped a couple of weeks ago and had to get it plated n pinned.
Now im no Dougie Howser but quite clearly the 4th screw up isnt where it should be. Although his Doctor says its perfectly O.K and not to worry. Thoughts please.

I wouldn't worry - those Ikea metal plates always have a screw left over.

hmmm..looks a bit off, doesn't it?

I guess the other 7 will hold everything tight enough in place though, so wouldn't worry about it too much...kindoff like an IKEA cupboard..if one out of 8 screws comes out your cupboard won't fall apart all of a sudden.

 Hmm...
 Well tbh, long as it doesn't interfere with the healing and straightening of the bone there's no problem ..

 the pins will be removed later anyways.

Typical ortho feck up, but it will be fine.
Often they don't even bother pinning the fib.
