Hi @amrdubey, these are good questions to discuss with your orthopedic surgeon. I'm also tagging fellow members like @doodles418 @gardeningranny @caligirlian @jenniferhunter @bernese53, who have experience with tibial implants.

Amrdubey, if I calculated correctly, you've had the implant since you were 19 years old. What was the reason you needed the implant? Has it been causing you any issues? What it meant to be permanent?

I had a motor accident and fractured my Proximal Tibia Plateau.
As it never bother me ..I never planned to get it removed.
But Suddenly I googled about future complications of retaining long term Titanium implant I got worried with the result as it may lead to Cancer also..
