Geek Habitat

On a funny note, shortly after my surgery I was visiting my parents and Dad pulled out a metal stud finder (for detecting metal supports and other objects inside a wall) and ran it over my post-op knee. I didn’t think it’d register the screws, but sure enough, my three titanium screws registered on the studfinder. It was a little weird, to say the least. He did it shortly after surgery. I wonder if now, over 9 months later, if they’d still be detected or if enough bone has grown over the screw ends to obscure them? What can I say, my family and I have a healthy sense of curiousity.
