Plate removal generally requires a hospital stay of 1-2 weeks, but the exact time will depend on the patient’s condition. If local anesthesia is used for plate removal, the patient can be discharged and go home to rest in 3-5 days after surgery; if general anesthesia is used, the hospital stay will be extended appropriately; for fractures in special areas, such as humeral stem fracture, femoral stem fracture, spine related fracture, thoracolumbar fracture, etc., bed rest is still required for a longer period of time after plate removal, which may take about 2 weeks; if postoperative wound infection and other complications occur, the hospital stay will be extended appropriately until the wound heals, which will take at least 2 weeks. In case of postoperative wound infections and other complications, the time required for hospitalization will be extended until the wound heals, which will take at least 2 weeks. In addition, the surgery to remove the plate is relatively simple, and the patient’s postoperative care is mainly wound care; at the same time, strenuous exercise should be avoided after surgery to avoid re-fracture, and from the perspective of wound healing, it is safer to go through the discharge procedure after the removal of the stitches.
