Hello, I am 27yrs old and I met with an accident in Feb 2020. Attached is the recent xray I took. Is it okay to remove the rod and screws now? If I can remove could someone pls help me understand if there will be any complications after that? Or should I let the implants be there?

Hello Yes it's ok to remove the rod and screws since the fracture has healed. You need to be aware of the complications which are usually associated with any type surgery
