Doesn't that question answer itself?
I assume that it would hurt at least a little bit. After all, you're getting SCREWS taken out of your FOOT.

When is surgery necessary for a fractured clavicle bone?
not necessarily, it really depends on the fracture. you have to get an xray and if the broken parts of the clavicle are to far apart they wont heal on their own (nonunion) and surgery may be required. surgery may entail a plate and screws or a pin/rod of some sort. I suggest if you get surgery to get the rod. If you get the plate and screws you will have more healing to do after the surgery to remove it seeing as there will be holes in the bone...its like having two healing processes.

What treatment is used for scoliosis?
scoliosis can be treated 2 ways 1. bracing - a brace is fitted to stop progression of the curvature. this is generally used for younger patients who have not stoped growing or patients with a curve less than 50 degrees 2. surgery - scoliosis surgery is a last resort and is generally only performed if the patient has a curve over 50 degrees or if the scoliosis is causing problems for the patient. scoliosis surgery is a major operation which involves attaching hooks or screws to the spine and then attaching rods to the hooks or screws. the spine is then pulled straight and held in position by the rods in addition to this, if the curvature is very minimal, the patient is kept on a watch with the doctors and just participates in physical therapy to try to minimize it.
