The plate needs to be removed after fracture fixation, especially for young people, because if the weight-bearing limbs, such as lower limbs or spine, are not removed, the plate will have a stress shield after the fracture heals well, which means that the bone should be stressed by the plate, so the bone will be less stressed, which will slowly cause osteoporosis. After the fracture is healed, the plate will be fatigued gradually with the activity, which may cause fracture after a long time. The steel plate will also react with body fluids, which will have adverse effects over time. The plate needs to be removed after the fracture is well healed, unless the fracture is fixed in a non-weight-bearing area or the physical condition of the elderly does not allow it, so it can be checked and not removed, otherwise it needs to be removed in all other cases.
