How many days can you be discharged from the hospital after having a plate removed from the acromioclavicular joint?

How many days can you be discharged from the hospital after the acromioclavicular joint plate removal depends mainly on the specific condition of the patient, and cannot be generalized, generally it takes 3~10 days, and some patients need a longer period of time. Because the acromioclavicular joint plate extraction surgery is aseptic surgery, most of the postoperative period will not be infected. Relevant antibacterial drugs are given to prevent infection, such as ceftriaxone, etc. Meanwhile, disinfection and dressing change need to be given on time to prevent wound infection, and most of the patients need to be hospitalized for 3~5 days. If the postoperative patients are not handled properly, resulting in redness, swelling, heat and pain in the wound and other symptoms of infection, especially with diabetes and other underlying diseases, the number of days of hospitalization should be appropriately prolonged, in this case, it will take 7 to 10 days, or even longer. The specific number of days of hospitalization is recommended to consult the attending physician, who will determine it according to the patient’s condition.
