Why do you have leg pain and swelling after a broken leg repaired with a pin and screws?

The muscles around the break will aslo have been damaged. When the leg repairs itself it does so in a different position to its original (a pin will have insured it did not mend in a dracticaly different position, however some movement is evenvitable). The muslce are therfore having to adjust to the new bone position whilst healing and this therfore places strain on them that can cause pain and with that swelling. With time however this will decrease provided the nerves within the muscle haven't healed in posistion which can pain.
