Hardware can be troublesome.  If she complains of aches, during the first year, go back...  Sometimes the hardware can irritate the bones, and when that happens, it needs to be removed (after one year, minimum).  Don't sit on it more than a year, though, as they may refuse to do anything about it.  I had an 8" plate, with 8 screws, removed after 16 years:  lost time from work due to inflammation of the bone tissue around the plate, and one screw (caused debilitating pain -- couldn't use my right arm, and I'm right-handed).  Hardware sucks, period, but the alternative is horrific deformity, and being crippled.  Wishing you the very best of luck with it.  Cheers!
