Question: Hi, I had undergone a surgery on 11 May 2015, on my left arm due to multiple fractures in my fore arm. I have a Rod and metal plant implanted in my left arm. I got an X-ray done in mid october and the report says as healed. I wanted to check if I can start driving my two wheeler. And, what will be a good time to get the rod and the plate removed.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query

I'm Dr Sudhir Kumar

I have gone through your query and understand your concern. If your fracture has united as you are saying as per your x ray then you can do all activities including driving two wheeler. Otherwise also it is expected good union after 5 months. As far as your rod and plate removal is concerned this should generally be removed after 1.5 years after operation or there is no fracture line visible on x ray. Furthermore if they are not giving any problems then it is not essential to remove them. I can serve you better if you upload your x ray.

You can discuss with your doctor about it.

Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then I will be happy to help you.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
