Since we haven't had a silly poll for a while...
Dean's Rori has joined the titanium club and I was wondering how many other members are already in it.

for me, I'm just in with the screws in the knee from the ACL replacement.

Titanium rod & screws in my left tibia from a fairly nasty break while playing soccer in 2007. I ended up having 3 surgeries to try and fix it over the span of 18 months.

Two plates, three bolts, and seven screws. Almost enough to build a bicycle.

Nope. Screws used to re-attach rotator cuff tendons were absorbed into the bone. No big deal compared to some of you guys.

I had a motorcycle accident in 1976, broke left knee cap into three (3) pieces, shattered my left tibia and a broke my full face helmet. No plates, no screws, no limp.

Some people say I have a screw loose, but actually don't have any screws/plates/rods.... so how could one be loose?

Lots of porcelain, gold and silver in my mouth, but no, no titanium. I do have a titanium shift knob that the dealer gave me when I bought my S.
