i just had surgery to remove the hardware from a tibia plateau repair done 19 months ago. I am looking for any information from someone who has also had this procedure. I thought this is to be a 2 week recovery, but then I heard warnings about the bone where the plate was is not as strong as the rest of the bone and want to know if there is any special pt that was followed to prevent further injury or to promote bone health. How soon after surgery were the crutches ditched and physical activity--working out, -- resumed? really anxious to get back to my weights, yoga and power walking.

good luck to all facing this
