Normally if there is no symptoms like infection or internal injury and bleeding due to the implant or any other complications, it is not advisable to remove the rod. You will need to visit to the orthopaedic doctor for the same. Another surgery would be required for the same.
Next Steps
Kindly visit your orthopaedic doctor for further evaluation.
Health Tips
Avoid removing implant if it’s not hampering your daily routine.
