Asking For Self, Male 21, kasur
I have radius surgery before two years ,doctor put plate inside arm,now should I again surgery to remove that plate or not?
Yes get an xray and it would have healed better remove it
Preferably it should be removed after 18 24 months. But first you need to get fresh xrays to confirm radiological and clinical union( fracture healing)
Hi, if plate does not cause any problem to you then do not remove , however removal of plate does not harm you. Thanks
if plate is disturbing you, it can be easily removed.

get an xrays and then get rid of it ...u r young ..u will have a feeling for life that a plate is there inside ...its actually pinches one's brain 🧠otherwire no harm if it remains there ...
If no issues, you don’t need another surgery as hardware removal surgery has the risks of refracture, infection, bleeding and nerve injury. Indications for removal include persistent pain at the site of implant or an infection arising because of the implant.
No
Leave as such if there is no pain
