So 2 months ago I broke both bones in my arm and dislocated my wrist. The hospital failed to spot this on an xray and said I could ski again within a week as I had probably just strained a muscle. Fast forward 2 months and I've had surgery as the bones were healing when they were totally misaligned, they've been plated and I'm a few weeks away from being able to do sports again.

However, someone told me that if you re-break a bone which has been plated then it will be far more complicated than a normal break and recovery might not be as succesful. Does anyone know if this is true and if its worth having surgery again to get the plates out?

Thanks
