Drill broke during surgery
I broke my ulna bone due to accident and underwent surgery for the same. Post surgery during my follow up I came to know from X-ray that drill which was used during the surgery for plating broke and it was left in the bone as is. I asked the doctor he said that it will not cause any problem instead removing the same may cause problem so best option is to let it be there. Now I am worried about whether it will cause any problem down the line like any bone related issue, infection or any other thing ?
What should I do in this case ? Shall I remove it or trust my doctor who says it will not affect my movement or cause any problem in future.
Please advise
