Safe and effective internal fixation removal
The procedure of internal fixation removal involves the removal of previously placed metal plates, screws, and rods that were used to stabilize broken bones or joints. The patient is usually put under general anesthesia, and the surgeon makes an incision over the area where the metal implant was placed. The implant is then carefully removed using specialized instruments, and the incision is closed with sutures or staples. The procedure typically does not take very long, and patients can usually return home the same day. Recovery time may vary depending on the extent of the surgery and the patient’s overall health. Physical therapy may be necessary to help the patient regain strength and mobility in the affected area. Overall, internal fixation removal is a safe and effective procedure that can help patients regain their quality of life after a bone or joint injury.
