First of all are you sure that the pin was not supposed to have been left there by design. Sometimes pins are left in bone fracture mends.
If you are sure that the pin was left there by mistake you need to get a lawyer/attorney and follow their advice on having the ploblem diagnosed and removed (or left if this is the correct option). If appropriate they will seek to get you compensation for the problem.

Sometimes. Anyone touching the patient or anything else that will touch the patient (instruments, drapes, etc.) or touch the surgical table or equipment in the sterile surgical field, must be sterile, including the gloves.

She's had it there since 1988, with no problems.However, I think you should talk to your doctor about it if it bothers you. You should have been informed about them.
