Hardware removal outcome after tibial plateau fracture, 2 plates, 10 screws, is there much risk of having more pain than if you leave it in?

More than ?: That partially depends on the amount of pain you are having that necessitates the hardware removal. You would need to consult with your surgeon.

Depends: Depends on how well your bones have healed and how stable they are. Only your physician looking at your x-rays can make a judgment call on that. You should make an appointment back to speak with them before planning surgery. You might even consider a second opinion before you go for it. Good luck.
