IBM, do you know if the hardware will stay in his leg? I'm just wondering, I know from experience that if it stays in it will hurt forever.

Actually it doesn't set off metal detectors, I have five plates and forty screws in my body and never have a problem.
Question: Will A Metal Implant Set Off Metal Detectors?
Answer: Airport metal detectors are quite sensitive to metals, this includes metal implants that may have been placed inside your body.
Belt buckles, key chains, and steel toed shoes may set off these sensitive metal detectors. Many commonly used orthopedic implants may also set off the metal detectors.
The most commonly implanted orthopedic materials include stainless steel, cobalt chrome, and titanium. Different types of metal detectors work in different ways, but the newer airport screening detectors will identify patients with these metal implants.
Obviously, there is nothing you can do to change this. If you have a hip replacement, knee replacement, a metal plate and screws, a metal rod inside your bone, or one of many other type of orthopedic implants, you too may set off the airport metal detector. We used to give patients a card to carry to inform the security staff of your implanted device, however, there is no need to continue to use these cards.
Whether or not you have a card to alert the security personnel, they will have you step aside for further screening. To help you on your way, wear clothes that allow you to easily reveal your surgical scar (such as sweat pants, short sleeve shirts, etc.). Alert the security staff that you have a metal implant, and let them know where it is in your body. You will likely be screened with a metal detecting wand, but security sees many patients with these types of implants, and you shouldn't be delayed.

I have four of those cards somewhere but I never have had to use one, my left forearm is pretty much made of metal and even the airport ones never go off. I thought I would have problems when I flew but no issues yet.
just curious.....when you go swimming does it pull you under a little or is it even noticeable?

I bet that pilot had a good day! Maybe they'll stop trying to over-load the jets... Probably not. 
Oh, and I can still feel the rumble from them most days. Especially the low level jets.
I'm used to it though. Now a days I just go running outside when the helicopters fly low. 
Damn that sucks. Sorry to hear about it. Hope he gets better soon! I've seen those breaks. They're nothing to mess around with.

Rules, brah. If you're on page 1911, I think you're still rattling 10 posts per page. You gotta get up to at LEAST 30 posts per page (but all the cool kids are ROCKIN at 40 posts per page
) in order to reeeaaallly be able to claim page ownership
