Two docs told me i would be fine without surgery and the third told me that there was no way it would heal without it. The front got crushed into powder and the two pieces were far apart. I ended up going for surgery and it healed great. It should stabalize your break allowing you to heal faster and be more active without much risk of weird bone growth. That being said i am just starting to wear backpacks a year later and am still contemplating having it removed.
Anyone have the strap discomfort go away or the plate removed ?
