lol lol I thought the same thing when I first saw it.

Need anyone and everyones opinion, Should I have the plate removed or not? The doc seems to be leaning towards it but I am unsure what to do. Any input would greatly be appreciated. No comment is too dumb.

Looks like Doc left his Hair comb in there.....LOL...

I had a plate in my leg. I left it in there for 4 years then it got to painful. Everytime i would try to walk any long distance or run my leg would swell up. Anytime it rained or the weather changed drastically it would hurt. I had him take it out and it has been better since then. I would say get it taken out as soon as possible.

renmus · April 24, 2006, 08:34:50 PM

Did a little checking: Removing the metal plate as soon as possible is especially important in children because their bones are still growing. Bones receive nourishment through their surfaces, and bone under a metal plate can die if the plate is left on too long. Current methods of determining when the bone is healed depend on a "calcium signature," which doesn't show up until well past the time the bone is healed.
Yep, I would have the plate removed.

Maybe you'll be riding by the time I can make up my mind what to do about my Quad!
