Looks like the person must have lost it in accident that required installing the rod.

Did they take it out when they put the pins in or maybe accidentally? I guess it could be infection. Crazy.
Organ harvesters? .... Does your hospital engage in organ harvesting schemes of any kind?
Screws are not supposed to stick out of the bone either right?
You would think, I have a similar intramedullary rod in my leg, and my screws also stick out. Since the screws are there to hold the rod down the inside of the bone in place, they care more about that stability than the screws being a bit long.
I've been told that now that I'm healed, if the hardware is giving me problems, I can have them go in and remove it. Unfortunately, being in the US, that would probably be another 15-20 grand to have done (basically as much as I paid to have it put in when my leg was broken). So at least for now, even though I do have some hardware-related pain, it's not bad enough for me to justify the cost.

Oh, I know what this is. OP, you just need to select a different floor.
They don't need that part of the bone anyway.
