The clavicle fracture plate can usually be removed about one year after surgery, as follows: 1. If the position of the clavicle is unstable after the fracture occurs, the plate can be fixed internally with screws, and the fracture will heal completely about three months after surgery. At this time, since the strength of the fracture end cannot be restored to normal yet, the plate cannot be removed, and the patient’s daily life and work gradually resume, and even light exercise can be participated in. 2. After a period of time, the strength of the bone can be completely restored to normal, and only then can the internal fixation plate be considered to be removed, about one year after surgery. After removing the plate, it is still necessary to protect the original fracture site for a short time to avoid osteoporotic re-fracture, and also to enhance nutrition and exercise to improve the local bone density.
