I had broken my left leg femur March 8,2015 they put titanium plate. It's iver one year and still in therapy and they suggested second opinion cause it's too long for pain in leg plus I have arthritis in left knee.nwent for second opinion and they suggested take plate out. How long will recovery be? They say it's easier to take out then put in. I was in rehab two months,came home April 38,2015' then -7 weeks in home therapy and now Sept 15 therapy on outside and I drive myself and do mostly everything I couldn't do I house after operation which is a p,us but I am worried about this opeation
