Is it necessary to have a metal implant removed? Tuesday May 16, 2006Metal implants are used to hold broken bones in proper position. In some cases metal implants, plates, screws, and rods may be removed. Removal of most implants is not absolutely necessary, but may help alleviate pain caused from the metal.
