Is It Safe To Do Vibration Plate Exercise After Having ORIF Ankle Surgery?
I am 45, and had ORIF ankle surgery 9 months ago. Now walking. Was wondering if I could use vibration plate exercise? I am concerned about the screws loosening and dropping off. I do not want to have a surgery to remove the hardware, or rather I have not decided if I want to do it later.
