Hardware Removal - Deep

Hardware Removal - Deep is available through Mark Cuban Companies Health Plan at a published cash price, paid when you book.

Deep hardware removal is a surgical procedure performed to remove internal implants, such as screws, plates, rods, or pins, that have been previously implanted during orthopedic surgery. These implants are typically used to stabilize fractures, correct deformities, or aid in the healing of bone injuries. Over time, the hardware may need to be removed due to complications such as infection, hardware irritation, or the completion of the healing process. During the procedure, the surgeon makes an incision over the area where the hardware is located, carefully removes the implants, and then closes the wound with sutures. Recovery involves keeping the wound clean and dry, following any postoperative instructions provided by the surgeon, and possibly undergoing physical therapy to regain strength and mobility.
