Can screws come out of your operation in your back?

Yes, screws used in spinal surgery can potentially come loose or become dislodged over time, though this is relatively rare. Factors such as improper healing, excessive physical activity, or infection can contribute to this issue. If screws do come loose, it may lead to pain or instability, requiring further medical evaluation and possibly additional surgery. It's important to follow your surgeon's post-operative care instructions to minimize risks.
