I had a Platue fracture the end of June last year and the screws and plate are causing me ALOT of pain. I was wondering if it can be removed now even though it hasn t been a year and if it is a out patient surgery or if i will be in the hospital a couple days.
Hello, The removal can be decided based on the stability of the bone healing, and we need an x-ray to judge it.  In a year plus or two the plate and screws can be removed if the bone has healed far better. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.
