I had my hardware removed on June 1, 2020 and am happy with the results. I have more range of motion now and it doesn't hurt when walking. I'm not 100% back to where I was before my injury, but am having a lot less pain. And maybe over time it will heal completely.

Hi, I just recently broken my tibia and gotten surgery and doing PT. I haven’t started walking just yet. But reading everyone’s comments I’m worried that the hardware left in the leg, may cause problems. Now, how long are supposed to keep it in? The doc said 1 year at least, but it heals in 2 to 4 months from the surgery. So, I’m asking how long you had them in before getting them removed?
