It usually takes several days to be hospitalized to remove the steel plate from the arm.

In general, you can leave the hospital within five to seven days. However, it should be noted that if the wound is red, swollen, painful and infected during dressing change, it is generally not recommended to leave the hospital. It is very important to continue hospitalization to prevent infection. In addition, for the operation of taking the steel plate, we should also make active preparations before operation, and then accept surgical treatment after excluding surgical contraindications.

Pay strict attention to rest and protection after operation, which is beneficial to wound healing and can also avoid re-injury of steel plate. The wound needs active dressing change and disinfection, so it is very important to prevent infection. In addition, for patients with severe swelling, it is necessary to raise the affected limb, which is beneficial to venous reflux and swelling reduction. It usually takes about two weeks to remove the stitches.

I was hospitalized for a few days and had a fracture plate removal operation. There is no clear stipulation that patients who are restricted from taking steel plates must be discharged for a few days. But judging from their condition, if they can go home to recuperate, it is recommended to go home to recuperate. If there is corresponding incision infection or other complications, the hospitalization time will be prolonged accordingly, depending on the condition.

Generally speaking, the operation of removing the steel plate after fracture will reduce the swelling locally within one week after operation, and the pain will not be obvious, so you can go home. Therefore, clinically, it is recommended that patients leave the hospital about one week after taking out the steel plate. If you recover well, you can advance it by one or two days. If the recovery is poor, wait until the stitches are removed and then leave the hospital two weeks later. There is no violation of regulations.
