Hi hunuman
In my opinion removing the screw could help or not depending on your knee x ray
If you are able to carry a weight of 30 kg in knee extention , you will be able to run normal
if you can carry 30 kg in extention and can not run properly
then you need another surgery to tighten you acl, pcl ligaments

Good Luck
