i'm sorry, i have no experience with the screws but my maggie does have a broken leg as well. thankfully, she didn't break her leg in the joints, it was a clean break in the main bones.
the only advice i can give you is to talk to different vets. they dont' necessarily have to be surgeons, just vets with lots of experience. i'm sure they would be willing to talk to you. I will also ask my vet about it when we go back in.
i do hope she gets to feeling better soon. i know it has to be so hard for both of you. i know how hard it is for us, and it isnt' near as bad as what your poor baby is going through.
keep us posted on how she is doing, ok? and like i said, i will ask my vet what they think....
