plate removal ????
I have plates holding my bones together in the jaw and my doctor said they would never be removed unless they became infected or broken. perhaps you have some larger plate that mine, but I have about 10 screws in each one which support the Fibula bone attached to the mandibal.
I'd like to hear more from you on why they believe the plates should be removed. I see my Dr again in 60 days. I'd like to ask him about your situation, which is also mine...thanks
all the best, Steve
