Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. If you had a neurological injury during the trauma then recovery need long time. A neurologic examination should be carried out to rule out such injury. Nerve conduction study will be helpful in such situation also. Removal of plate will be helpful if it is impinging any nerves. If you send pictures of X ray and further details i can comment on it more. Hope this may help you.
Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks
