I Had My Wrist Fused 8 Months Ago. There Is

I had my wrist fused 8 months ago. There is a metal plate attached to my radius and then up to my carpel bone and metacarpal . Bottom line the plate is causing discomfort against my tendons. Doctor said he could remove it after a year. My question is what is involved in the plate removal? Will I be in a cast once again? What is the recovery period?
