I know this is way off topic but I'm hoping some of you may have some medical knowledge or experience.
I had foot surgery 3 months ago and had three screws put in. I then have an ultra sound bone healing electronic device/machine to use on the areas to help heal the bones where the screws are holding them together. Well I had an x-ray today and it shows one of the screws have broken. My question is, can this ultra-sound device maybe contribute to the fracture of this metal screw? Since they use ultra sound to break up kidney stones and such is why I ask this question. Thanks for all your information you may contribute.
