There is absolutely no indication to remove implants(plate and screws) unless they trouble you with hardware prominence, soft tissue interference due to screws, infection. With modern metallurgically made implants they can be retained for longer time with no complications. Removal have their own set of complications like refracture, resurgery, cost, failure to remove complete assembly etc.
