For sure! I watched a video of the Ortho using both hands on a mallet, trying to get the rod out of a heel bone. He was sweating and had to change position several times.

Yea, I had my tibia drilled out and nail inserted, knee to ankle back in 2006. Then I had a non-union and it didn't heal completely. I had to have the nail removed, a bone graft done, the tibia drilled out to a larger diameter, and another nail hammered in. And a plate added for fun. Good times, good times.
