Hi.

Honestly speaking you cannot get an accurate opinion without a doctor seeing your xray or MRI films of the affected region. The brackets can only be removed if your spine does not require them anymore and not otherwise. But a follow up visit is surely in order, so please visit your operating surgeon and also take a second opinion.

Best wishes.
