I had a right arm fracture, both radius and ulnar bones are broken. Plates were placed and its been 15 months now. Doctor examined and said implants can be removed. How much time Will it take to get back to normal life after this surgery?

According to latest guidelines, removal of implant is not mandatory and should only be done if there is failure of implant or any sign of infection or if it is causing any pain or discomfort to the patient. If you still want to get it removed then take care of your forearm for three months because the holes in which screws have been placed make the bone weaker and more susceptible to fracture.
