Tibia plate removal or not for ACL recon

2018-09-21 17:25:54
This is my left knee x-ray. I need to undergo ACL surgery. Do I need to get this player removed for sure? If yes, can this be possible in single surgery. Else I need to undergo two surgeries. One for hardware removal and other for ACL. Please advise.

Hi, it may be required to remove the plate if it comes in the way of surgery. There should be no harm in removing it. Take care
