After removal of screws plate from my tibia after 6 months what should i do? how long i need to take bed rest? how many days later i will start walk?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

ORIF: You had a screw and plate fixation of your tibia, which is a weight-bearing bone. Why were the plates and screws removed? Were you experiencing any problems? These are sometimes left in indefinitely. What did your doctor say? He or she would be the best person to direct your questions to.
