Does an internal spinal fixation need to be removed

1.In practice, more than 95% of the internal fixation are not taken out, and very few of them need to be taken out. 2.If you really think it is uncomfortable (such as back pain, neck swallowing discomfort), you can also take it out, but it is possible that the symptoms do not change after taking out the internal fixation. 3.If you really want to take out the internal fixation, it is more appropriate 1-2 years after the operation. If you take it after 3-5 years, it is often difficult to take out. 4, the internal fixation is generally titanium alloy, can stay in the body for life, no impact. Possible impact is the future through the security of the metal detector, sometimes alarm. Can be given to the security inspector to see the wound. By airplane, foreign countries need a certificate of diagnosis. 5, the general internal fixation plays a temporary role in fixing the spine, 3-6 months later, the implant heals, the internal fixation basically has no role. It can be taken or not. 6.Take out the surgery, need to cut the wound again; do not take out, occasionally many years after the internal fixation fracture, generally no problem.
