Has anyone had a bilateral bunionectomy with the
doctor using a plate and two or three screws in each foot.

I am 59 years old and the doctor said that would probably
be the approach he would take. I also have osteoporosis
in my spine and hips, but the doctor said generally
osteoporosis is not in the feet.

I am an active 59 year old who walks, bikes, and skis.

Is the removal of the plate and screws like a second surgery?
How many weeks post op does this take place?
Is it normal that the plate and screws come out or do
doctors just normally leave them in.
My preference would be for them to come out.

I would be thankful for any feedback.
