Plating is not recommended for wrist fractures

The wrist fracture plate does not have to be removed, but it is recommended if the patient needs it or if it interferes with other tests at a later stage. The plates used for wrist fracture are basically made of titanium alloy, which is very compatible with the human body, so if you are not doing heavy physical work, you don’t need to worry about it and don’t need to take it out for the rest of your life. However, it is recommended to remove the plate if the patient needs it or if it will interfere with other tests. Although the plate is very compatible with the human body, if there is an infection or inflammatory reaction, it may affect the local wound healing. The presence of a plate in the body may also affect the results of tests such as MRI. If a wrist fracture requires the removal of a steel plate, it is important to take care of preventing infections in the incision after the surgery, and to carry out rehabilitation training under the guidance of a specialized doctor.
