Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
You need to go for an X-ray to find out if all the plates or screws or the implants have been removed or not. Also, the healing of the fractured bone can also be monitored. The further treatment will depend on the cause detected after investigations.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Praveen-Tayal
