Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
Hi
Thanks for writing your query
I dr.mukesh chugh orthopaedic surgeon. After going through your query my advice would be if she has numbness and weakness in hand along with pain then these screw can be removed after looking at the fresh x ray. After the procedure she requires a minimum 1 day stay at hospital.
Regarding charges it varies from place to place. I have no idea about Ranchi.
If you like you may email the x-ray picture at drmukesh_chugh@rediffmail.com
Take care
