Removal of internal fixation at Edinburgh Hospital
- Overview
Removal of internal fixation is a procedure to take out the 'metalwork'—such as plates, screws, or rods—that was used to hold your broken bone in place while it healed, and is considered once the fracture has fully mended.
Surgical removal of hardware for internal fixation of fractured bones is one of the most frequently performed orthopaedic surgeries. During the procedure, the materials previously used to help a bone/joint recover from a fracture or injury, such as plates or screws, are removed from the body.
