A member asked:

About 8 years ago i cracked/broken my collar bone, i then had an operation at a public hospital at the time and put a metal pate with screws in. i would like to get xrays done and see if this can be removed as it bothers me.

Hardware: Theoretically all hardware can be removed - its finding someone to remove it. As long as the bone has healed then removal is an option - this will depend on how much bone has grown over the screws.
