The primary outcome was postoperative surgical site\u2013 and hardware-related complications, defined as wound healing disorder, surgical site infection, fistula formation, or plate exposure.

The most frequent indication for removal was patient request without medical complaints (48.6%), followed by sensory disturbance (20.7%) and infection (18.9%).
