I talked
to several people whose doctors had let bad breaks try to heal and a year
later their bones were still shifting and hadn't healed. Meanwhile I did a
50 6 weeks after my injury. I was glad my doctor fixed mine and got
it over with. If it were me, I'd probably get the plate. If the screws rub
the tendons...it seems as if they could remove the plate. I just keep
trying to find time to schedule to have mine out.
I have never had plates for my collarbone fractures, one big one
and one greenstick fracture but I have two titanium plates in my knee and they
have never bothered me a bit..........mb
