Plate removal

2018-05-01 10:07:31
Dear Doctor, Plate has been fixed in my right hip femur and spinal before 17 years due to an accident. Now I am getting pain on my femur and spinal. Will it be advisable to remove plates? Will it lead to any other problems? If done, how long will it take to do the regular activities. Please advise. Thanks.
