Grade 3 LES laxity often requires surgical correction. Medicines may help symptoms but don‚Äôt usually reverse anatomical defects.

I have a rod in my left leg from a tibia fracture and it's been causing me pain sometimes. I'm thinking about getting it removed but I'm not sure how long the recovery would take after the surgery. What kind of complications could happen after the removal? Also, would it be okay if I just had the screws taken out instead of the whole rod?

Rod removal after a tibia fracture can relieve pain but recovery usually takes 4‚Äì6 weeks, depending on your overall health and bone healing. Complications may include infection, nerve injury, or re-fracture. In some cases, removing only the screws can help if they‚Äôre causing localized discomfort. It's best to discuss imaging and options with your orthopedic surgeon.
