What is Implant Removal Surgery?
Implant removal surgery is a procedure to take out orthopedic implants (such as plates, screws, rods, or pins) that were used to stabilize bones after a fracture or corrective surgery. While implants are usually designed to stay permanently, sometimes they need to be removed due to complications or discomfort.

Diagnosis (Before Surgery)
Joint Replacement Treatment (Surgical Approach)
The procedure is performed under regional or general anesthesia. The surgeon reopens the previous incision to access the implant and carefully removes plates, screws, rods, or nails without disturbing the healed bone. Specialized tools are used to gently disengage the hardware while protecting surrounding muscles and nerves.
If infection or tissue irritation is present, the surgeon cleans the area, removes infected tissue, and washes the surgical site thoroughly to promote healing and prevent recurrence.
In cases where bone strength is inadequate or removal may compromise stability, temporary support such as splints, braces, or casts may be provided until full recovery.
After implant removal, the incision is sutured, and dressing is applied. Patients are usually discharged the same or next day. Pain relievers, antibiotics (if infection was present), and physiotherapy are recommended. Most people resume routine activities in a few days, with complete recovery in 4–6 weeks depending on the surgery site.
Why You Should Not Delay
Delaying implant removal in cases of infection, breakage, or discomfort can worsen pain, increase the risk of complications, and cause long-term mobility issues. Early surgery ensures better outcomes and faster recovery.
