Wrist implant removal 13 screw
I met with a road accident in Feb 2017, Wrist was fractured and underwent operation as mentioned in the attachment.
I have following queries-
• It pains when flexing the Index finger. (Since the accident)
• Wrist movement is restricted in contraction movement. (Since the accident).
Shall I get the implant removed?
I do gym (weight lifting), will removal of implant hamper or deteriorate the wrist joint?
Will the problem of index finger & wrist movement get any better by removing the implant?
How long will the healing take ?
