It is possible not to remove the plate after a scaphoid fracture. It is recommended to remove the plate if the patient is younger and more active, and to keep the plate if the patient is older and less active. 1. If the patient is younger and more active, the plate should be removed as there is a risk of plate breakage and injury during activity if the plate is not removed. 2. If the patient is older and less active, there is less risk of the plate breaking due to activity and it can be left in place. Most fracture plates are made of titanium alloy, which has no effect on the human body. 3. If the patient chooses not to remove the plate after scaphoid fracture, attention should be paid to protect the affected part to avoid plate tearing. At the same time, attention should be paid to wound care to avoid infection and other situations. If you suffer from scaphoid fracture, you should be treated in time. You should follow the doctor’s advice and decide whether to remove the plate or not.
