Looks like a chisel!

Same here. Thing is, orthopaedic surgery is sometimes rather like carpentry. I have a massive pin down the middle of my left tibia. I've seen the same operation on telly done on a femur. They just welly it in with a hammer. Don't suppose it's called a hammer in that context but you'd doubtless find one useful for fitting bearings...

Thanks Nurse Julie (et al),

Does your industry have anything with a strange thread... as I seem to have inadvertently created here?! :D

Cheers, D.

Nurse Julie:
Nothing specific for strange threads Drew, like most carpenters, mechanics, bodgers etc we just make a bigger hole with a tap and die  and put a bigger screw or bolt in it to hold it together and if in doubt put a bit of bone cement in it. I have a couple of dodgy bolts on my 400 where the heads have sheared off so I'm sure i will end up with threads not known to the engineering world !!!

That's quite a scary statement Julie, having been in agony since some botched surgery last year:o Not so keen on getting it corrected now! lol

Don't let me put you off Hairy, it's a shame it didn't go well for you but sometimes, like everything in life, it just don't work out well all the time. Better luck next time an fingers crossed.
Regards
Julie
