In June my Dad broke his femur. The doctor put in a plate with screws. About 6 weeks after this he fell at the nursing home where he is recuperating. The x-rays at the time showed everything was fine. A month later at the doctor's office x-rays showed the metal plate is moving away from the bone on one end & pulling out some of the screws with it. the doctor feels this is related to the fall & says sometimes these things show up later. He has prescribed a brace, which is very painful for Dad.
Are there other treatment options?

As far as I know there aren't exactly any other treatments but you might want to ask the doctor if there's anything else. Have you discussed that with him yet?
