Resplinted, exercise routine in place, Surgeon happy with healing & strength so far. I can get incision wet. Compression bandages on to reduce swelling. Supply person showed me the same plate implanted, with ten, count 'em ten, screws. Exercises as expected, still not too bad. Tired.
Shiny. Titanium.

Neat

Also congrats on the excellent orogress so far.

Titanium and Stainless are most common, although titanium is more common for smaller plates. Lots of biomechanics go into these bits.
Crow,
Definitely a newer design, Specific to this joint and type of break. Hardware comes out occasionally, if it's causing problems. Haven't seen any of this type need removal.
