broke my outer metatarsal 18 months ago (trauma). Had a plate inserted and the bone healed well. I lift and exercise without restrictions, but the plate is slightly annoying at times, so I want to have it removed.
Any advice on how to proceed afterwards? Can I deadlift/squat right after the incision has healed properly (10 days)? Can I clean? Run/jump/other conditioning?
Hey butter - thanks for the questions. Without a consultation with you, our advice will be to follow your treating physician’s recommendations at this time. Provided there are no complications, then this should be a fairly easy post-op process to return to exercise. We’d be happy to consult with you.
