The screws.

[Stig]

Some of you may remember Jo and her ankle operation. Today she had the screws taken out. Take a look at these bad boys.

Cor-blimey...there bigger than the ones holding my Ikea bed together...

I dont expect they are made from suzuki cheese material either:)

[Bear]

Damn! I wouldn't want those inserted through me and I'm into piercing!

[jambo]

Self tapping then?

Blimy, all my best to your lovely other 1/2 that can't have been a lot of fun!

[sv-robo]

ouch

[Spiderman]

Is The Terminator falling apart or something???

Should have gone for the model T300 with the bolts that dont fall out ;)

Seriously tho Jo, all the best with the recovery xx

[Stig]

I'm already trying to work out how I can get them on the bike some how :lol:

[ethariel]

Bugger !

All the best to her on the recovery :)

[Lissa]

Blimey!

She must weigh half a stone less after having those removed.

Give her our best regards, please, Si.

[Jester666]

[Richie]

Boudica-style; straight out from the front wheel spindle. Keep them peds on the pavement.:p

[maultin]

an old mate of mine had similar looking beasties in his leg a few years ago, along with a titanium spike holding the 3 bits of his thigh bone in a straight line.

after he had it taken out he regularly used it as a kebab skewer on the bbq - dirty ba5tard

[Treacle]

Cricky there big suckers. All the best Jo really glad it went well. :-)

[Mr Toad]

Very impressive

They wouldn't let me keep my bit of metal - I reckon that was because the consultant wanted to use it as a new golf club :shock:

Well done Jo, keep hopping

[Cazza]

Ouch. I hope she's recovering well - give her a hug from me please.

[anna]

blinkin heck how do they fit into an ankle???????? ..... scrap that i dont want to know...

big :grouphug: though

[Stig]

The longest one through the heel bone all the way through into the shin bone. The shorter one. Through the side of the foot below the ankle the shin bone. I have a picture of the xray somewhere.

[bad-sv650]

amazing what they do these days.

The screws you could use to bolt down a ground sicurity lock for your bike! lol
