How can I tell if plate and screws on my calcaneal fracture broke?

This episode comes from one of the YouTube viewers on the Doc On The Run YouTube channel and he posted a question as a comment on one of the videos, and he wanted to know, how can I tell if I broke the plate and screws on my calcaneal fracture. But number one, my number one question here is, what is it that this guy could have done that would have made him think that he applied enough force to the broken heel bone that he then could have broken the plate after the surgery? How can I tell if the plate and screws on my calcaneal fracture broke?  Well, great question and that is what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.
