[|Human|] Hi, my husband has a metal plate in his upper arm. last year plate had to be removed due to infection that was in his bloodstream and parts of his bone were chiseled away and new plate inserted. Over a year later the area is infected again. Is it possible for your body to reject some plates? He has rods and plates in both his femurs but, is not bothered by them.
