Remove fracture plate

Hello, My mother (Age 61 yrs) has fracture plate in one leg ankle. Now fracture has healed. Is it reqiured to remove plate?

Just asking a 2nd medical opinion

Mom(50years)  got a knee injury on 4th May . Doctor gave Paracetamol,Diclofenac and Serratiopetidase tablets and cepodoxime 200 mg tablets for 5 days with complete rest and scrap bandage (with that scrap support her leg is sometimes dislocating while walking. Now we did an MRI and the report i am attaching...Doctor now gave Phlogame Forte tablets and linezolide tablets for another 5 days with complete rest. Now he told he will operate it in our city ( basically a district town) and its will take 2-3 hrs...and he will bring arthroscopic instrument from outside for this surgery in a nursing home..Now I KNOW ITS NOT POSSIBLE TO SAY BUT STILL can be proceed for it (i mean as no bone fracture and not that severe) or we should move KOLKATA for it which will be quiet far from our city. I am requesting an OPINION and ASSURANCE 🙏 I mean it will be very helpful if we do it from our city as no inclination for too much Running here and there.

Bilateral cogential dislocation of hips

Actually I have a problem of bilateral cogential dislocation of hips as you can see in the x ray , still I have no pain and any problems in daily life activities. A few months ago I consulted a doctor he said that it will be cured by THR but if there is no problem in my daily life and there is no pain then I would be better to avoid the surgery . It's ok but my question is :- is there any problems if I do THR in this case . I can wait till 26 age but If there will be no pain at that age and I do THR then is there any problem❓ please tell me what is the best step to do❓
