The steel plate removal operation needs hospitalization 10 days or so, and can be discharged.

Plate removal surgery is a kind of surgery to treat fractures, and the postoperative hospitalization time will vary according to the specific situation of patients. If the patient is in good health, with mild illness and good recovery, he can be discharged from hospital in about 2 days. However, if the patient is in poor health, is seriously ill, or recovers slowly, he needs to be hospitalized for about 7 days or even longer before he can leave the hospital. These factors include the overall health status of the patient, the type and location of the fracture, the complexity of the operation and the recovery after the operation.
