Can surgical metal such as pins or plates cause heavy metal poisoning?

I don't think they can. I just got out of the hospital due to a severely broken wrist. They had to put three plates in me and almost my entire wrist is metal. My surgeon told me the only complications I should have was stiffness during cold and damp weather. I doubt they would use metal plates if they caused poisoning.
