There may not be any need to remove the rod. However it may be removed if you have any unwanted reaction or infection which s likely to be very rare.

These are the decisions to be made by the experts, after your clinical examination and radiological reports this will be decided, depending upon the purpose for which rod was used, so it will be better if you seek advice from the doctor who treated you at that time.
