2. Do you have any experience with bio-absorbable bone anchors you'd like to share? |

... if I knew what the fuck a "bio-absorbable bone anchor" was, but I don't.
your post is like a science or math geek using obscure technical terms without bothering to define them ... maybe if feeds the ego, but it sucks in terms of actually communicating with other human beings.

4. Well, if you don't know what it is, then you can't answer his question anyway. |

Really not sure why you're getting upset and having to insult. This is the Health forum. People sometimes ask very specific questions. If you aren't familiar with the terminology, chances are you've never dealt with it and thus can just pass the thread on by.

5. actually i was curious |
|
because I have a hip replacement and thought that might have something to do with your post.
I didn't realize you only wanted to address health-geeks who already know the lingo.. my bad.

I have 7 screws in my shoulder 4 titanium and 3 bio-absorbable. I am having problems near where one of them is anchored. It is against the rules here to ask for medical advice, so I was hoping that people who had some experience might post and that I might be able to glean some insight from their experience without breaking the rules and asking for advice.

i really appreciate your clarification, and wish you luck in finding out what you need to know.
I've got a titanium "boney ingrowth" hip socket, which was why i was curious, cuz i thought maybe bio-absorbable might be related, but anyway ...
sorry i got a little snarky about it. now i understand. peace out. :hi:

The bio absorbable anchors gradually are absorbed by the body, as I understand it. I think I may have broken one of mine.
