Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The left over pieces of broken plate need to be removed surgically. This needs an exploratory surgery according to the size and placement of the left over fragments.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Praveen-Tayal
