So I got curious about recovery time from tibular rod removal recovery time (say it 3 times fast!). And the first pass is not all that informative. Some non-athletes want the procedure because there is ongoing pain associated with the implant and related hardware - fixation screws principally. For athletes the rod itself becomes a risk of serious future injury because the ends of it represent stress points. Anecdotal reports suggest a 6 month recovery time from the removal procedure. This youngster has been through a lot. No matter where she ends up I wish her nothing but happiness and fulfillment .
