Tibia fibula comminuted fracture how long to take plate

Tibia and fibula comminuted fractures are usually removed 1-2 years after fracture healing.

The timing of plate removal is usually after fracture healing, that is, the fracture site is completely healed and has sufficient biomechanical strength. If the recovery of tibia and fibula comminuted fractures is good, it may take about 1 year to remove the plate. If the recovery of tibia and fibula comminuted fractures is slow, it may take about 2 years to remove the plate.

Because recovery varies between individuals, the time when the plate can be removed depends on the actual situation.
