    I always assumed some sport of metal would be left in his foot. Why is this news a big deal?

    Yes be careful because it is BS when it is completely unecessary to mention this fact . As a fact it carries no concern about the upcoming season for Yao Ming. However it could be if he has further problems with that foot and the breakdown of the surgery. Also it will be fact of concern when Yao Ming aged 50 decides to have the pins removed. :p

    I don't know about all that.

    I've had a pin on my thigh bone, femur?, that was supposed to be taken out 5 years after it was in place, that was when I was 10 and it was never done. I've never set off any metel detectors at airports or with the wizard wands.

    If he did leave them in it wouldn't hurt him they're just support while your muscles and tendons grow back to full strength. Even with the pin I'm pretty fast so it doesn't hinder me as far as "athletic" ability goes.

    I've had pins in my left ankle for 10 years. They aren't magnetic, they don't set off metal detectors, and I can't feel them at all.

    We should just replace Yao's bones with Adamantium. Then our problems would be over.

    I think the metal in the pins is unobtainium.

    Yeah they tend not to use magnetic material for prostheses. Because if a patient comes back and ends up needing an MRI and getting one without doctors knowing about the prosthesis, that would sort of, you know, kill him.

    I'm glad Yao's agent is confident in his return, that is a very good sign.

    ...if you asked me they should have taken each of his bones out and dipped them in solid titanium before putting them back in his foot.
