Normally, the locking screws at the posterior and anterior of my femur are supposed to be removed after the osteotomy heals. I attempted to keep them in to prevent another surgery but, recently the screws towards my knee are severely agitating the surrounding soft tissue. This is causing fluid buildup and severe..Severe pain. I'm going to see my doctor next week and hopefully setup an appointment to have the screws removed. I should be able to leave the hospital the same day as the surgery and there should be no additional down time. See the following link for picture references.
