Are there any private Consultants you could recommend To take a second opinion on the injury To see if the plate could be removed or reduced in size.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Since you were operated six years ago, the fracture must have healed well by now. After getting a check X-ray done, the plate or the trouble causing screws can be removed. You need to consult an orthopedician for that.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
