2. I want to ask that the hospital is privately run, and the charge is relatively high. It takes four hours to go back and forth from where I live. I don’t want my child to suffer a second operation, mainly general anesthesia. The doctor told us that the fixture inside is steel. The nail, but my medical record should be a steel needle, so I want to make sure that there is no need to perform surgery to remove the fixation, whether it can be taken out in an outpatient clinic, the doctor said that the steel needle is not indwelling, it is in the flesh.
