Hello,
You can decide to get it removed only after getting a new X-ray in Nov 2020
Right now it cannot be removed..your fracture needs to consolidate a little more
Thanks

Tibia is a major weight bearing bone. Usually implant can be removed after 24-36 months. Though it depends on the xray findings at the same time.
Looking at this xray fracturw looks united. Can be considered for implant removal.
