Need Recommendation on plate removal
I had multiple fractures in fibula 4 yrs ago due to which plate was inserted and during surgery some 15-20 degree diversion occurs and after that my ankle bend towards left while walking and pain occurs (sometimes mild and sometimes severe).
While consulting various orthopaedic surgeons most of them suggested nothing will happen now as bone was completely joined. So recommend you to remove the plate so that some pain will reduce and may be the walk improves.
Request you to kindly advice / guide in this regard. Whether i go for removal of plate, or let it be as it is or try for bone straightening where diversion occurred.
Also suggest how I get rid from this pain.
